He used the stairs, down to what was likely a fire exit.
Ah, thanks, I had not heard that. Too much media out there to keep up with.
That makes more sense.
This still just boggles my mind, though. I've been in criminal courthouses in LA, Hollywood, Ft. Worth, Dallas. . .there are usually a ton of cops.
Even in a civil courthouse, there are tons of bailiffs. I'm just thinking about the county courthouse in downtown LA. If you shot someone in a courtroom by the time you got halfway down the hall there'd be bailiffs pouring out of every courtroom.
What they need is in a situation like that for someone to be able to hit an emergency alarm that would seal the exits.
