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.

Well my opinion of him changed greatly from his initial start of a rant about the President on a forum dealing with the murder of a judge.

One of the few that has the common sense to know he's bringing up the wrong thing at the wrong time.

My best perp story was the OJ chase.

Mine was the robot cop versus the mail truck...

Oh, I like a little fight first. I am thinking of who to pick on next.

Cedar, the guy who thinks words will kill us, is boring to me.

What I don't understand is why did he even go to court? If he was out on bail last week why didn't he leave the country to avoid prosecution? It is quite easy to do if you know how, guess he didn't know.

So is it still a 1997 green Accord they are looking for? The Sheriff said he didn't know.

Reports vary.

Sounds like the Baltimore murder count for the 36 months.

I'm assuming family court again...

That was my first guess as well, but this was in a criminal courtroom.

If he was out on bond, which is often the case even in very serious cases, he would have been in civilian clothing. Don't see the relevance.

I think there's quite a bit this guy doesn't know.
