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.

I don't think he was a convicted felon.

I thought he had a prior drug trafficking conviction.

Yikes! Glad you're home, safe and sound. I believe the previous advice is excellent. Lock and load, keep outside lights on, as many inside lights as possible on. No one wants to enter a home that's well lit!

Hope you can get some sleep tonight :)

MH. Did you hear the attorney on O'Reilly that said in passing that judges can go into the courtroom armed if they wish? Just imagine if Barnes had been so armed. Maybe he was, but I seriously doubt it.

BTW Hope they are giving some protection to the X girlfriend

I heard earlier today they put her (the victim he was being prosecuted for assaulting) in protective custody immediately this morning.

First let me say Stay Safe Freepers of Atlanta.

I wish some media folks would track down his family/exfiancee/friends and start painting a picture of this guy.

Is he smooth, shy, tempermental, has obvious speech or physical traits.

Also any of you in the Atlanta area have their scanners on tonight?

Prayers for the victems of this creep.

I still am dumbfounded about him packing a picnic and going to his fiencees' (ex, now) place to raping and sodomizing her.

Was it a "violent rape" or a fantasy sex date gone wrong? Ya never know now a days.

I would like to here her version.
Did I hear right they were engaged for 8 years? If so isn't that a bit odd?

possibility is that he's at their house as a hideout.

Now if that death threat phone call really WAS him....

And that garage is less than two blocks from the nearest MARTA station. So he literally could be anywhere.

More likely still standing on the platform waiting for a train.

He is a rapist. It stretches me to think he is AQ. Why would you think that?

Just a paranoid thing I got after seeing 3000 people die on a early September morning

OK. The car was jacked across from my wife's office on Cone & Marietta, and left half a block away on Spring & Marietta, across from CNN Center.

The car was on the lower level of the garage.

I missed that - I don't think Barnes was armed in any event.

That just makes my head hurt. Fox is saying that the Honda never left the parking facility it was just moved from one floor to another.

Re read my post and try to come up with an intelligent answer!!

Silly questions don't demand intelligent answers. "Most secure city"?? What city is so secure as you suppose this one is? That is silly. Cities are not "secure".

What if an AQ agent could do this? Well... of course they could. It would be easy for anyone, or a big group, to go on a rampage and say... shoot up shopping malls all over the country. It would paralyze the country and there is no way to stop it.

So what?

Your source says the deputy was cuffing him after he was dressed. No place does it say she was with him while he was dressing. As a deputy she may have been in the area, but she was not said to have been in his cell.

I don't know what is "strange" that she was cuffing him after he was dressed.
