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

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.

You are right, I don't know all the facts (but neither do you), but notice I use qualifiers like, "appear" and "probably".
It's a FACT though, 'cause it is ON TAPE, that this female could NOT do her job at that moment, which was to get the guy up in the ambulance in a timely manner, POTENTIALLY giving him a better chance of survival.
If there are wimpy male EMT's that can't do it, they should find another line of work as well.
It is funny that telling it like it is, is attacked as "bigoted" and/or "ignorant". This is usually a LIBERAL tactic to quell dissent from their left-wing party line, which in this case, is the notion that men and women are alike in every way and interchangeable in most every job.
Just as I said about women in the military (and I say the same about female EMT's), GOD BLESS THEM, but... if they can't do everything that their job/MOS requires, they should NOT be doing that job.

"shanking" had something to do with what prison inmates made as weapons, like homemade knives

In Atlanta, it's not hard to believe that any jury sitting in judgment of a black man could be hung. O.J., anyone? Anyone?

The Atlanta station are saying that there are four dead; one of the Atlanta stations had said that the families of the deputies had been called to the hospital. :-(

You have to always consider that a moment unarmed is a moment where a rape or murder can take place, in the reality of this very dangerous world...

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?The pot and the machine guns are merely what Atlanta courts takes off of the average citizen before they enter court.

Where on earth did he get a machine gun? He doesn't have a miachine gun. It was one of the charges against him.

James Bailey, a juror in the trial, said the jury was not in the courtroom at the time of the shooting. Nichols, who also faced charges of sodomy, possession of a machine gun, possession of a handgun, and possession of a large quantity of marijuana, had not taken the stand yet in the trial, which started Tuesday.
Bailey said Nichols made him and other jurors nervous. "Every time he looked up, he was staring at you," Bailey said.

Don't some Armed forces units, such as National Guard Units, have a cable strapped to the gun, which is strapped to the LBV, or other load bearing gear, which doesn't allow the gun to be turned on the owner, or allows the gun to be removed from the owner?
