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.

I just got off the phone with my wife, to make sure she locked down her building (which is only a few blocks away).

The entire downtown area is cordoned off.

Current word from WSB-TV is that the perp may have grabbed the gun from an officer inside the courtroom.

thanks for posting this. FRN is reporting a Judge and a Deputy shot. Nothing mentioned about a clerk.

They're saying the Judge is dead, altho it hasn't been confirmed.

Now showing clip of an ambulance with a police escort.

New report coming on mentioning a clerk being shot.

Courthouse is in a lockdown.

Luckily, traffic this morning is lighter, as most school systems are out today; traffic is expected to pick up in about an hour or so, as the SEC Tournament is underway at the Georgia Dome though.

Three ambulances with another on the way.
