Took awhile, but it now appears the guy on trial for rape and possession of pot and a machine gun and who also tried to smuggle in a weapon during the last trial, got his murder weapon from a female officer.
Oh boy.
Anyone for a public hanging at the Fulton County Courthouse???
/sarcasm (obviously)
May those who fell due to this outrageous crime RIP. May the perpetrator who committed it be caught, tried, and executed. And may those whose fanatical ideology (partially) opened the door to it's inevitability spend sleepless nights reflecting on the human costs of their bug-eyed fanaticism.
Prayers are out to the judge, deputy sheriff, court reporter and bailiff.
NAWWWWWWWW!!! Not even muslims are that stupid!
Bump for a later read.
My guess is that the suspect drove to a remote area and killed himself with a self-inflicted gun shot wound.
Sort of like Mark Barton from a few years back.
Did you make it back O.K.?
In a related story, the timing is downright eerie......
MINNEAPOLIS - The shooting incident at a courthouse in Atlanta is serving as a grim reminder of shootings that took place at the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis 18 months ago.
Mandatory weapons screening goes into effect at the Hennepin County Government Center on Monday. Talks about increased security have been in the works since a fatal shooting there in September, 2003.
Susan Berkovitz, the woman convicted in the Minneapolis shootings, opened fire outside of a courtroom on the 17th floor of the building on September 29 of that year, killing her cousin and injuring the victim's attorney. She was sentenced to life in prison.
Starting at 6 a.m. Monday, employees and court visitors heading to certain floors will go through a screening system similar to what is in place at airports across the country.
"There will be people that are upset," said county security manager Roberta Haight. "It is an inconvenience. But you need to balance the inconvenience with the security. And that's what it's all about come Monday."
The busy times will obviously be in the mornings when employees are arriving to work and when others are arriving to .
During the noon lunch hour, about 3,000 of the 7,000 people expected to go through security on an average weekday are expected to be government employees.

3000+ posts is way too many to read for what I want to know. . .
I'm an attorney that regularly visits courthouses. Out here in California there are, whether state or federal court, usually 4+ guards manning the metal detectors at the front.
I've been to only one courthouse since 9-11 that didn't have massive security for the primary purpose of keeping the wrong kind of folks OUT (Santa Barbara, which had no real security).
Does the Fulton County courthouse not have this?
Just think, if they would NOT allow law-enforcement officers to have access to guns, then this shooting would nothave happened!
Anyway, that is the anti-gun socialist argument anyway!
