Fulton Co. Judge shot and killed in courthouse shooting (BREAKING Fri 9A)

WAGA-TV/WSB-TV Atlanta | 3.11.05

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.

How? Only if he was lucky enough to carjack someone with a police scanner.

>>Give it up. He's a disgruntled kidnapper, rapist, and sodomizer.<<

Officially "given up." I hadn't read that post. On to other threads.

Thanks.

After listening to the last couple of press conferences, I was going to ask "which idiot?" The press corps there is unreal...

[Carolinamom]

Local radio is no doubt full of reports.

"When I first read this criminal's rap sheet, I wondered how STUPID it was to let him post bond!"

It's the liberal mindset, ST...

If only we are nice to him, he won't hurt us.

Liberals do this endlessly, with violent felons and with international terrorists. They don't seem to care how many lives this costs. They will not give up their fantasies.

This is not the first time or the last time a shooting like this will happen in an Atlanta courtroom. Atlantans will continue to vote democrat and continue to die.

Anyone for a public hanging at the Fulton County Courthouse???

[Quilla]

This monster's been on the loose for 5 hours. I doubt he's anywhere near Atlanta at this point.

There are two helicopters flying above in Alpharetta.

Glad she's doing better.

The more I hear about this guy, the more it seems that the deputies dropped the ball on the security issue.

Cobb officers always double up on perps like this, and one is always standing back where he can keep an eye on the situation if an officer needs to get within arm's reach of a defendant.

I haven't been able to go thru this whole thread. Will someone please post a picture (if there is one!) of this idiot?

[4everontheRight]

I live in Greenville, SC...just about 2 hours north of Atlanta. I sure hope they catch him before he gets up my way. On the other hand, I know some pretty nasty characters who would love to be the one to run him down and collect for those deputies and judge!

[lugsoul]

The actual chief - Pennington - is a fairly articulate guy (especially compared to his predecessor). Dunno who the deputy is...

[O Neill]

Fox Atlanta reporter now stating how reporters run to danger while most people run away from it.

Unless they're in the can...

[Daus]

News Talking Head just aked he was carrying a 41 millimeter gun. :)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Yech. Thanks, to you too...

[mhking]

How? Only if he was lucky enough to carjack someone with a police scanner.

WSB Radio & WGST Radio have been wall-to-wall with this since it broke.

[4everontheRight]

How does he know that? Is that missing from the police?

[2Jedismom]

Good! :-)
