There's been another public shooting today. This time at a courthouse in Georgia.
A man armed with explosives and an assault rifle might have entered a north Georgia courthouse Friday if not for a deputy who was wounded in the shootout with the gunman, Forsyth County Sheriff Duane Piper said.
Authorities killed Dennis Marx outside the courthouse, Piper said during a news conference, adding that the gunman planned to wreak more havoc once inside the building.
"Mr. Marx's intention was to get in that front door and take hostages," he said.
The suspect began a "frontal assault" on the building by driving up, throwing out "homemade spike strips" to delay any police response, and trying to run over a deputy, Piper said.
Marx then began firing through his windshield, hitting the deputy in the leg, the sheriff said. He also threw gas grenades -- perhaps pepper grenades -- during the attack and had flex ties and water in his possession, according to the sheriff.
Story
Take a wild fucking guess where I am??? Yep, stuck in traffic because there are detours all over Cumming. I came up here for some personal business and they closed due to the shooting and didn't fucking call me.
