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.

Just heard the male reporter ask if the sheriff deputies carried any 41 MM ammunition.

I guess they shoot down airplanes as well as offing perps.

LOL

"During the news conference the Atlanta PD Chief said the gun was taken from the female deputy."

That sounds just like Atlanta -- assign female security to a 6-foot, 200-lb, unsecured violent defendant, who has prior felony convictions and is on trial for rape, sodomy, kidnapping, weapons and drug violations.

Makes perfect sense that the judge would set things up this way, doesn't it?

He was trying to ask if a 9mm was missing or a 44 caliber. Somehow he ended up with 41mm. :)

Despite the dumb press questions I am wondering what the Police detectives are doing my guess is:

1.Tracking his bank activity.

2.Paying attention to any store/personal robberies or car jackings.

3. Staking out freinds and relatives.

He can't check into a hotel with his face all over the news so he may take a home/family into hostage.

If I was the fiancee I would get ahold of the news and request they put an X in front of fiancee. I don't think the wedding is still on since he sodomized her.

Watching the coverage on WXIA here in Atlanta. The male anchor just asked a reporterette at the courthouse if the gun that the perp may have is a 9mm or a "41mm".

The reporterette said she would get back to him on that ...

Lets hope he is not armed with a "41mm" pistol ...

I did see on the AJC web site that the Police are staking out the neighborhood of relatives of Nichols in Jonesboro.

That is a sick photo. All of the people in that photo, save those hanging from the tree, have a warped sense of justice.

Are you out of your mind? How offensive do you think that you can be, if you really try?
