The deputy shot in front of the courthouse has died now as well

He was the fatality. The deputy who lost the weapon survived, and is going to have a tough road back, both emotionally and physically.

Boy am I confused--

"Fulton County (Ga.) Sheriff's Deputy Cynthia Hall is shown in an undated photo provided by the department. Hall was shot and killed Friday, March 11, 2005, in Atlanta, when a man being escorted into court for his rape trial stole a deputy's gun, killed the judge, Hall and another deputy, Sgt. Hoyt Teasley, then carjacked a reporter's vehicle to escape, setting off a massive manhunt and creating widespread chaos across the city. (AP Photo/Fulton County (Ga.) Sheriff)"

That's the caption from an AP photo that accompanies a story wherein this appears:

"Nichols got the semiautomatic pistol by overpowering the female deputy while he was being led down a corridor in the Fulton County Courthouse, Assistant Police Chief Alan Dreher said. After shooting the deputy in the face, the suspect then went to the courtroom, held about a dozen people at bay for a short time and shot and killed Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes and court reporter Julie Brandau, authorities said.

Another deputy, identified as Sgt. Hoyt Teasley, was later killed outside the courthouse when he confronted the suspect, Dreher said. The deputy shot while leading Nichols to court, identified as Cynthia Hall, was in critical condition but was expected to survive."

Greta reporting on Fox that he definitly has two firearms. The firearm found at the scene belonged to the dead deputy. The second firearm he has belonged to the judge's "balif" deputy, who the perp handcuffed in the Judge's chambers, but did not shoot. No word on if the perp took the spare magazines from the deputy he killed. I guess he figured two guns was enough.
