Fulton Co. Judge shot and killed in courthouse shooting (BREAKING Fri 9A)
WAGA-TV/WSB-TV Atlanta | 3.11.05

Posted on 03/11/2005 6:39:06 AM PST by mhking

This is a breaking news situation.

A man entered a courtroom in the Fulton County Courthouse this morning and shot a Fulton County Sheriff's deputy, a clerk and a judge; there are reports from both WSB and WAGA, the judge is deceased.

The perp has carjacked multiple vehicles -- now on his third -- and is still at large.

I've just come from downtown Atlanta, and the city is a madhouse.

They have to say "allegedly" because of Miranda and and due process clause of the 5th Amendment.

"You ever seen a person with a broken spirit?

Sure, but they still eat, sleep and are still at least 6 feet above ground. There is still hope for them, whereas you say, "what good is it". It's not the same. Not even close. You're stretching, big time."

Spirits may be broken but the Lord is a mighty handy repairman.

...you can be damn sure that the perp knew exactly which deputy would be the easiest to overpower.

The courthouse deputies in this photo from the scene this morning do not exactly inspire confidence. If what I've seen here in Los Angeles County is any guide, deputies assigned to guard duty at courthouses are often not the most sharp, trim and physically fit individuals.

YAHOO CAPTION FOR THIS PIC: Fulton County Sheriffs Deputies gather outside the Fulton County Courthouse in Atlanta on Friday, March 11, 2005. Judge Roland Barnes and two other people were shot to death Friday at the courthouse and at least one other person was wounded, authorities said.

The perp "came into possession of a gun?" What's with the doublespeak? Everyone knows he seized the weapon of a deputy.

More Political Correctness, geeze!

Why? That's only for a trial, not a news conference.

The Fulton County Sheriff is, uh, sub-literate.

Today would NOT be a good day to be a petty crook in Atlanta, IMO.

No joke. The cops have roughed me up three times already.

Does anyone believe that P.C. ended up killing three people today? For instance, what if deputy was a male, then would this have happened? Just food for thought, and please do not flame me females.

he pronounces it "alledgedly"

He could use a refresher course on remedial reading skills.

I've never heard of a mass murder referred to as a "disturbance" before. Ridiculous.
