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.

True enough, but the term originated in a time when people might carry a riding crop or whip. Pretty archaic now.

What don-o is dancing around is that earlier in the thread a FReeper
made a remark something to the effect that if the judge
were a lib he may have somehow deserved to get capped.
Don-o is suggesting that if you cross that same line, you could get
(and rightly so) cut deep and long by a Mod. As Lily was.

So sorry. So very sorry.

The Great One on WABC has opened his show with the story.

Not a word.

There have been false alarms and rumored sightings all day long (one right around the corner from my house), but absolutely nothing concrete.

They haven't even found the car he jacked from the local reporter.

The perp "came into possession of a gun?" What's with the doublespeak? Everyone knows he seized the weapon of a deputy.

That way they turn it into a "gun" problem, not an evil person problem. And heaven forbid not a Sheriff's deputy problem.

[O Neill]

...in order to catch him we all need to know what we're looking for.

I think that's the crucial point. There are many 'black' males in Atlanta, but some are 'extra black', some are 'medium black' & some are 'too-white black'.

We all, especially Atlantans, need to know who we're looking for.

Tough crowd out there in FReeperland.

Saying on Abrams Report, suspect called in a threat to kill the female asst. D. A. after the afternoon press conference. I think her name is Abramson (sp). At least they think it was him that made the call.

[DoughtyOne]

That's NON Reagon, not Ron Reagan.

[Cyber Ninja]

What, about Lily?

[withteeth]

did they say "medium" complexioned black? If not then i understand your point of course.

Thanks for posting that.

Exclusive with Paul Howard.

I heard that later....talk about the hand of God!

MSNBC: Fulton County DA on the phone.....he just said a death threat was called in during the presser earlier against the woman asst.DA. Gail something.

They think the call came from the wanted killer.

[don-o]

No. He gave the facts, such as are known. Why ask about one whose stupidity got her a visit to the dark place?

[AnAmericanMother]

Holy s$@#$@!

This guy is a mad dog.

The ADA's name is Gail Abramson. I know her. She's a senior ADA in the Crimes Against Women and Children Unit. I hope they put her in protective pronto.
