US Judge shot dead at courthouse
ATLANTA - A judge, a court reporter and two sheriff's deputies were shot on Friday at a courthouse in downtown Atlanta, officials said.
Authorities were searching for the suspect, whom they identified as Brian Nichols. Nichols, who is accused of rape, assault and other felonies, escaped the court by carjacking at least one vehicle. The shooting occurred around 9 a.m. inside the courthouse and may have continued outside the building, according to police. The wounded were taken to a local hospital. The shooting occurred less than two weeks after the husband and mother of a federal judge in Chicago were shot to death.
