Fulton OKs Courthouse Security Upgrade
(AJC) — After hearing from the widow of a judge who was gunned down in his courtroom, the Fulton County Commission on Wednesday approved plans to upgrade security at the courthouse.
Just a week ago, the commission had removed the security upgrades from consideration, only to put themback on the agenda after top courthouse officials protested. It will be the first major security upgrade at the courthouse since Brian Nichols shot and killed three people there on March 11, 2005.
“I’m just thrilled they passed it,” Claudia Barnes, who addressed the commission, said after the vote. “It’s past time the judges got the support they need to keep the justice center tower safe so we don’t have another fiasco like we did back then.”
