Fulton Co. Judge shot and killed in courthouse shooting (BREAKING Fri 9A)
WAGA-TV/WSB-TV Atlanta | 3.11.05

Posted on 03/11/2005 6:39:06 AM PST by 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.

"Possibly up to 3 people shot."

FOX is now calling this a "MASSACRE". I do believe I will switch over to Scooby-Doo.

I wonder what this guy's beef was. Fox is saying he was a pretty fair judge.

And when they catch him, he's one who needs to be "shot while trying to resist", even if he's got his hands up.

Scvrew his "rights". Animals don't deserve any rights.

Save the Atlanta taxpayers the money to try this POS.

It sounds like he has already had an attempt or two at that.

In dark colored clothing.

WSB says he could be either in a green Honda Accord or a grey Mercury Sable, headed in the general direction of Spring Street (and toward Centennial Park/CNN Center).
