Doesn't the shooter know that guns are not permitted in the courthouse?

[SgtHooper]

LMAO!

Man the Tea Party really gets around.

In Goodwater, wherever that is. Think that is what the al.com site said. Did not know where it is.

Are the reporters tripping over themselves looking to see if Alabama has an equivalent to Sheriff Dumbnick they can interview?

Was the courthouse “targeted” by Sarah Palin? Only Moulitsas knows.

[RobertClark]

Palin’s Fault! /sarc

It's Bush and Palin's fault - there, I got it out of the way.

[animal172]

Any possibility that it may be Egyptian protesters?

[Raycpa]

Probably a family matter.

[floriduh voter]

Yep. The feds made Alabama take the Ten Commandments out of the courthouses. Not that all shooters can read...

I’m still waiting to see “breaking news” where someone defends themselves from an assailant/intruder w/a weapon.

[FReepaholic]

Were the perps two yutes?

[Revolting cat!]

The violence is spreading westward from Egypt!

A preliminary investigation of a shooting at Goodwater City Hall indicates that at approximately 9:39 a.m. today, a defendant attacked the Municipal Court judge and attempted to forcibly obtain a firearm when he was shot by a Goodwater police officer who was providing courtroom security, according to a Department of Public Safety press release.

A white person with white skin, and a white hat, who drove a white SUV is the likely suspect here.
