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.

Doh! I'm losing the webcast... Yes. This man is not impressive. No wonder they hung the first jury.

This Howard guy is not too smart, huh?

I think this has been the most informative press conference of the day.

I meant the perp- now Howard..lol. It was just a snippet I heard Howlin- apparently Nichols had friend who'reconcerned about him going ballistic.

OMG!! FINALLY- a reporter asked THE question: "Should a 130 lb female be transporting a 200lb man..."?

Just heard a description of crime for which he was being retried.

That there was a hung jury is beyond unbelievable.

There it was ... there was the question: "Should a single female deputy be assigned to guard a 6 foot tall 200 pound rapist?"

Naturally, Howard gave the politically correct answer. "Yes they should ... it's what's in the heart, not the size ... blah, blah."

Idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Basic physics eludes him.

I think it's a server problem. My connection was getting choppy too.

If he was changing clothes - I wonder if she was really watching him change or did she turn her head for privacy sake?

Not in Atlanta and not with a black defendant. Sorry, that's life in the big city.

Oh my God! He actually said, "It's what's in the heart"??? That is sad.

A reporter just asked your question.

Yes, and the answer from Howard was as stupid as I could have ever imagined.

How do dimbulb half-wits like that man ever get in any position of responsibility.

This is the first group who's desire to be on camera is exceeding their discretion. :)

I should know better than to believe the initial reports. The press gets into such a frenzy trying to report something that they say anything.

well, if there are no cameras around, he will not be apprehended alive. I can almost guarantee that. Having been a prosecutor and now criminal defense attorney (20) years, he won't be taken alive. He will die in some sort of shoot out with police.
