Atlanta police say they have caught the suspect involved in the deaths of a Georgia judge and two others.
The man, 33-year-old Brian Nichols was caught north in Gwinnett County north of Atlanta.
According to a Reuters article,
"Hundreds of police had fanned out in a search across Georgia and neighboring southeastern states after the 9 a.m. shooting on Friday at the Fulton County Courthouse.
Atlanta police said the suspect grabbed a gun from a sheriff's deputy and opened fire in the chambers of Judge Rowland Barnes. The Superior Court judge and a court stenographer were killed on the spot and a sheriff's deputy was fatally shot outside the courthouse."
Police are investigating the shooting of a U.S. Customs agent who was found dead just north of where the courthouse killings happened. Police are unsure if it is related.
