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."

Nice job of caption writing, huh? The caption's wrong, the story's right.
