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.

Hard criminals train for this type of thing in prision, seriously! When the famous leader of the Crips was asked about prision, he refered to it a "Gladiator Training" as well. If they have nothing to lose, this is the result, their legacy to the world and the direct result of the revolving door in-justice system.

Yes, it appears some very shoddy handling of this guy. He acted so quickly, his aim was obviously (and very unfortunatley) good, able to pistol whip the court reporter, and still get out of the courtroom and to the parking area. From the 8th floor of the courthouse! A big investigation will follow.

Evidently something like this has happened before. Lots of talk about prior notices to deputies about keeping their guns out of reach of suspects. There is going to be a big investigation and scandal. What a shame, lives lost before they knuckle down.

He must have been taking tips from Jack Bauer.
