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.

It looked to me like the auto collapse on the gurney malfunctioned.

Kinda hard to load a patient if that happens. Male or Female.

There's a Ruth's Cris there.

That is chilling. They should have improved security after the LAST incident.

At least change holsters so it would be more difficult to take the weapon.

But, no, we need money for social services.

Per Fox, shooter on trial last week for kidnapping and rape of his fiance, mistrial, again on trial this week for the same charges.

Just who the He!! carries a wheel gun in law enforcement now??? They all carry some sort of semi auto like Glock, SW, Browning, Beretta. This guy most probably had a full clip and has many rounds left.

[groanup]

He shot a deputy outside supposedly. No report on whether he picked up the dep's firearm.

Any stations have helicopters up yet?

What's your secret?

Being serious sometimes, funny others.

There's a Ruth's Cris there.

Maybe that will get Hannity on board for the manhunt. ;-)

"Unless he stole a Glock 17, then he's got 12 shots left."

I have a 40 round clip for my 9 mm Ruger, I call it my Reginald Denny clip.

[Howlin]

I saw the clip and it seemed the auto collapse on the gurney was stuck.

Never mind that; people need issues to muck up threads with. :-)

[mhking]

Any stations have helicopters up yet?

All four do.

"The Judge was one of the all time good guys..the perp one of the really bad guys...Interview on Fox.(Ga. attorney.)

Rape and kidnapping trial..first trial a mistrial last week.

[Boardwalk]

Haha, my mom pretended for about 20 years that she could not drive a standard, just in case my dad expected her to run errands with his truck. Yet, she could always move the truck out of the driveway if her car were blocked by it. My dad never caught on.

Prayers on the way!

[Catspaw]

They were doing CPR on the victim. I doubt if he was conscious, much less coherent.

[andyland]

Here's my rant:

WHEN are we in this country going to actually PUNISH criminals!!! This is insane - this guy was obviously bad news. It just makes me mad.

Sorry. Prayers for the victims, their families, and the people in Atlanta.

[yellowdoghunter]
