The world's gone mad. Those poor people.

Thanks Brent, our crack reporter at SO.

Court reporter is also now dead... also 4-5 people shot(1 possibly was in a car he carjacked after the incident). Authorities are looking for this man:

He was in the court this morning on rape charges... he apparently got the gun from a deputy inside the room and then held the people hostage before going on the rampage. He was last seen driving a Green Honda Accord(which was a reporter's car he stole outside the courthouse!) with licenses plate 658 4YN. It's been an hour and a half since he fled so he could be well away from Atlanta by now.

Everyday something terrible is happening somewhere in this world.

Brent88 · 03-12-2005, 12:07 AM

3 now dead... the judge, a court reporter, and a deputy. The last known car he was driving(which he stole from a journalist outside) has been found abandoned in Atlanta tonight... no sign of him. He has family in Florida reportedly. There is now a $60,000 reward.

This is the judge that was killed(well known and respected in Georgia)

and this is the suspect...

Just terrible. I've been watching this all night on tv. I pray that he doesn't kill anyone else before this manhunt is over.

Brent88 · 03-12-2005, 12:46 AM

Apparently the guy is still in Atlanta. The car was abandoned after dark(because authorities thoroughly swept the area in the hours after the shootings), and it was only a BLOCK!!! from where he took it. There have been threats phoned in against the D.A. and the prosecutor. Apparently the woman prosecutor was the real target, but she was running late. Also it was revealed tonight the guy was carrying AT LEAST two 9mm handguns and four clips of ammo when he fled the courthouse.

A person my mom works with went to school with that guy.

I bet extra security measures go in effect for all courthouses in the nation asap. Still it is unbelieveable that this could happen in a courthouse where it is loaded with cops. Not to hate on women or anything, but they should never let ANY woman take on the sole responsiblity of escorting any man that could overpower a woman, steal her gun and murder 3 people within minutes.

The day I come to Atlanta, this happens..great

Associated Press reporting just now that a U.S. Customs agent has been shot and killed in Atlanta this morning... it's unclear if it's related, but it sure sounds fishy.

His truck has been stolen along with a badge and gun. How wonderful.
