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.

You find four types in a Courthouse: Lawyers; Cops; People who work there; & People who smell bad Some people fill more than one of the above.
Hey! Now just a damminute! I distinctly remember taking a shower and brushing my teeth before I had to appear!
Perhaps that's why they found me innocent, huh? (Guy assaulted my wife, therefore I assaulted him, in her defense. The perp then had the chutzpah to make charges against me... but the system actually worked in my case.)

I think they were. He went from the chambers to the court room where he had a civil case in session (or had just ended).

Why not blame the guy who killed the people? There are also small male cops who could be overpowered. Sounds like liberals always seeking to place blame on everyone else. And, there have been conflicting reports - was this guy out on bond or in custody? If he was out on bond, why would he be escorted by an officer? Does anyone know for sure?

DA Paul Howard: "His own friends turned him in", on the rape charge.

I wasn't kidding when I said on O'Reilly's show last month that he's incompetent.

......New Info: Perp over-powered female deputy in the new tower, took gun and ammo, walked through a public hallway over a bridge, to the old tower to the judges chambers......
I've walked that walk. That is a long ways and past a lot of people. Gee Whiz.

WSB's traffic reporter saw 15-20 police cars converging on an area in North Atlanta, some are State Police. Watching the area at present, then WSB went to the press conference.
