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.

How many times will it take before they learn? The first time should have been enough. If these deputies made mistakes, those mistakes cost them and others their lives.
