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

WAGA-TV/WSB-TV Atlanta | 3.11.05

[mhking]

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.

That makes him 24, not 24 (unless it's a type-o)

That is scary.

Not a juvenile; but from the TV photo you'd want to cross to the opposite side of the street if you saw this guy walking toward you....

[Popman]

Good question

I was in court yesterday downtown Tampa with my son.

The officer screening me took five minutes looking at my promise keeper key (small key with a verse on it)on my key chain but missed my small pocketknife I had mistakenly left in my pocket and put in the basket to bypass the metal detector

I could understand a small 1" knife, but a gun?

IIRC = if i remember correctly

Pardon my newbieism, but what does "IIRC" mean?

If Inmates Run, Capture.

THAT judge? WOW!
He was just on TV last week defending that decision

[Peach]

Two guns? Maybe someone in one of those carjacked cars had a gun in the glove compartment.

That's right down where CNN headquarters are (I think.) Did they say Centennial Park?

Judge Barnes was most recently in the news in the Dany Heatley case (Atlanta Thrashers player who wrecked his car, killing his teammate).

Live presser from Fulco Sheriff's office now.

LOL

[rwfromkansas]

Yikes. Will this guy run out of ammo soon....hopefully so...

[RoseofTexas]

Heck, nothing wrong here! Still steamed at the SC! HAVE you ever heard of razor blades and kids who shave their heads to be in the in crowd?!! HELLOOOOOO! My first thought when I heard of the shooting was a juvenile did it! That's all, don't get your panties all twisted! sheesh!

[Rambler7]

IIRC= If I Recall Correctly, IIRC.

[ApesForEvolution]

On the stadium side of downtown, is it not?

Yes. (Mind you, my wife's office is a block and a half from CNN Center).
