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.

Could be wrong, you know?

[Peach]

Zell Miller appointed judge and is on FNC now.

Zell Miller appointed the judge to the court!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Maybe after today his life will be very, very short
ZELL!

[OXENinFLA]

It's the entire county feed, so it's hard to make out what calls have to do w/ the shooting. There's alot of crime in Atlanta.

Remind you of something?

[Quilla]

Imagine the effective cover of the thousands of vehicles traveling at high speeds on 285. It boggles the mind.

[longtermmemmory]

Of course the Brady Campaign is sending in shock troops to say how this is all the gun's fault. I only pray that someone is protecting and running interfearance for the families of those who were hurt.

look for that bs "know the owner" joke pistol.

Perhaps thos ACLU member lawers should demand the deputies be unarmed.

[Howlin]

How far out are they looking?

I'll be interested in learning where the perp was in relation to the deputy within the courtroom. We were taught to not get within an arm's length of a felon while transporting them, guarding them in a hospital, or attending funerals, doctor appts., etc. with them. Because our clientele were already convicted felons, they were always fully restrained when taken outside the facility.

This rapist appears to have better shooting skills than alot of the cops out there. How he got off 4-5 shots and hit four people is beyond me, and then be allowed to get out of the courtroom and building to boot. Very bad security.

[Dead Corpse]

On trial for up to 11 seperate offenses. Not a very nice person by any account.

Kiss me, you fool.

haRUMPF! so what am I??? Chopped liver???

[Gooseisloose]

how can you be on I-285 heading for Alabama? I-20 west and I-85 south go to Alabama, but not I-285. That just runs around the city. ??????

[Lazamataz]

I'll take a man any time rescuing my 5'4 butt.

Your butt is 5'4"????

You must be 100' tall.

[Jimbaugh]

What is happening? Is it open season on Judges?

[Crawdad]

Actuall there are two speeds driven on I-285 in Atlanta: 80mph and 3mph.

[Carolinamom]

Laz, usually I enjoy your remarks, but today IMO your flippancy is inappropriate on this particular thread.

[mhking]

How far out are they looking?

I'm guessing that they are looking blame near everywhere inside the Perimeter, which means that he could be any-damn-where.
