Governor, Fulton sheriff pledge to catch suspect
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
At 12:45 p.m., Gov. Sonny Perdue and Fulton County Sheriff Myron Freeman briefed reporters outside Grady Memorial Hospital, pledging to bring suspect Brian Nichols to justice.
Freeman was tightlipped about details of the hunt for the suspect. “This is a very sad day for Fulton County…. our prayers go out to the families.”
Perdue said the state is assisting Fulton County, including agents from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and state patrol. Perdue, too, offered his condolences to those killed in Thursday’s shooting at the Fulton County Courthouse.
A hospital surgeon described unsuccessful attempts to revive one victim. A wounded sheriff’s deputy, who suffered facial injuries, was listed in critical condition. She is expected to survive, the Grady doctor said.
