Fulton Co. Judge shot and killed in courthouse shooting (BREAKING Fri 9A)

WAGA-TV/WSB-TV Atlanta | 3.11.05

[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.

This is so awful,God Rest Their Souls.

Please, take your squabbles off the thread and reply to each other privately if you must. We are interested in the NEWS, not your caustic quips at each other.

[RoseofTexas]

GET OVER IT!! Move along!! Sheesh what part don't you understand!!!

[andyland]

FNC just reported the court reporter is dead. Prayers, MANY prayers. This is awful.

[joesbucks]

No, those aren't my thoughts, but anytime some kook starts popping off a gun, someone comes on the site with "if all the guns hadn't been banned, or if concealed carry was allowed, then someone could have got off a shot and nailed this guy".

[Dead Corpse]

Any mention of who the 5th is? Judge, Reporter, two Deputies still being reported on WSB radio.

court reporter dead.

Man.

[Rightly Biased]

Don't think that'll fly with the judge but I'm sure the defendant wont want you on thier jury

[null and void]

Several of the judges around here wear guns under their robes. Too bad this one apparently wasn't.

Or he simply couldn't draw in time.

I believe that Laz wakes up with his panties twisted.

He like it that way...

[george wythe]

Very sad.

Hoping the shooter gets caught before anyone else get hurt.

Praying for the souls of those deceased.

I've read you dork and I see I was wrong so get over it you fool!! .... Wow! You've raised the art of acknowledging your error to a whole new plane! ;^)

The fact that you apparently understood that little rant leaves me in awe, and yet filled with consternation.

Judge, court reporter, and THREE deputies.

I live in Kennesaw, Ga. I won't go to downtown Atlanta unless I'm being paid or unless I'm protesting CNN coverage of a presidential election challenge.

[Rightly Biased]

The biggest thing on em is the how to launder tag

Interview with witness to shooting in garage

[jer33 3]

I am an Atlanta native and was carjacked outside of Masquerade on Ponce Of course there are some questionable people who frequent that club anyway. Not the safest place to be when folks are doing drugs.

[null and void]

WAGA: Three dead in the courtroom: Judge Barnes, the court reporter and a deputy.

Damm.

"I don't know either. Good question."

All four victims are at Grave Memorial Hospital. Don't want to release more information because families are watching.

Gee, how sensitive of FNC and MSNBC, while they continue to show over and over closeup video of the victims being treated on the scene. Watching a large white male get CPR by a cop, a large black male loaded onto an ambulance (and appearing to be unconscious), but hey, they didn't show the face, so surely the families wouldn't recognize them < / extremely disgusted sarcasm >

Media a-holes
