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.

[Stonewall Jackson]

I don't know what his motive was, but I guarantee that if he is captured alive, he will get the death penalty and no judge will even think of overturning it.

[Pyro7480]

That is, if your legs are free.

[CitizenM]

People are now being let out of the courthouse, reports FOX. Guess reporters will be talking to them...gonna watch.

HOLY TOADS!!! This guy needs not so much to be killed, as to be killed nice and slow.

If he's in a trunk does that mean he has an accomplice hiding him or did the police find him in a trunk hiding?

The cops mentioned it just before he told another cop to switch to the Tac-channel.

But if you were on trial, would you want a juror who couldn't be fair on your jury?

I'm not saying that I wouldn't have been a good juror on another case, but I had been directly affected by cocaine.

Besides, I am a court reporter; they probably would have excused me for that anyway.

[Diddle E. Squat]

OT, I bet Rush is watching CNN's, not Fox's coverage.

[OXENinFLA]

No I think this is the car he's still in.

[prairiebreeze]

When the DA asked me if I could be fair, I said no.

I said the same thing at what had every appearance of being a frivolous civil case I was called for possible jury duty on. I had to go into the judges chambers and be grilled by the plaintiff attorney as to WHY I couldn't be impartial all the while being entered by the court reporter into the trial transscript. (rolling eyes)

[Howlin]

Oh crap.

[UCANSEE2]

The trunk of a Honda. Not much wiggle room , is there?

[4everontheRight]

How many rounds does a police pistol hold? He shot 4 people...2 shots left??

[Bahbah]

just before he told another cop to switch to the Tac-channel.

Is that a closed channel that you can't get on to?

[DocH]

Thanks for the heads-up.

[Pyro7480]

I wonder if this means if they have the car in sight.

[Dead Corpse]

When were you in the Corps? If your first name is Everette, I think I may know you...

[OXENinFLA]

Is that a closed channel that you can't get on to?

I think so.
