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.
What a sick freak. I can't imagine why the jury was hung.
I just saw a picture of the highways down there. Loaded with cars. Boy, if I were there I sure wouldn't be driving anywhere now. 87 green honda, Georgia license: 6584YN People in Atlanta: Get off the streets!
As often as I drive it, I only pay attention to traffic & upcoming lane changes and not the signs. God help me if I had to be more detailed than "take 400 North"
No, because they are stupid; just from what I heard this girl talking about, he was guilty.
They'll have to live with it forever, if they have the sense to.
You are sooooo white. ;-)
Damn. So THAT's where my stash of Girl Scout Cookies went!
Confirming it was an semi-auto he got off the deputy. Either a Glock or a Beretta 92. That'd make it either a 9mm or a .40 Short and Weak.
Huh????
or again - why no restraints - the mind boggles...
Where on earth did he get a machine gun? Surely those aren't carried by court security.
And didn't he have to get searched at all before court? Where did he get the pot?
MSNBC reporting that all four individuals shot (judge, court reporter, 2 deputies) are all dead.
And then of course, Fox broke away to Bridget Quinn.
Caller on MSNBC says all four are dead.
Anchorette says that is the first word stating they all died.
OMG
Caller = Karen Handel, Fulton County Board of Commissioners
*sigh* I was kidding on post #128...
If you drive on 400 North like I do, you have plenty of time to read the signs...;-)
MSNBC reporting he was charged with having a machine gun in the past.
The machine gun was a prior charge... not today.
It would be great if those highway signs that warn of bad traffic ahead, etc., could post a picture of the perp.
Imagine sitting in a traffic jam and seeing him in the car next to you.
Post #268 taken from the Fulton Co. Sheriff's Dept. says there was no bond and no bail. If he was out on bond after the mistrial, I'll be interested in knowing who the Judge was. If it was Barnes, he signed his own death warrant.
Here in Raleigh, we've been having this guy in a skeleton mask showing up at ATMs at night, pulling a gun on people in the car, and taking their money.
I've been giving a LOT of thought to my surroundings lately. And for my stepdaughters and grandchildren. It makes me sick that I have to even do that.
