to the LEO member(s),
what would be the ROE for the state patrols, sheriffs and FBI in this case???
We have a former Fulton County Deputy working for us now. His comment is that no matter who finds him first down there, unless the guy gives up in the middle of a football stadium full of people he is : :boohoo
I am not sure what you mean by ROE though. We are close to Georgia in our laws and court system(s) so I would think that the FEDS have some jurisdiction because of the slained Deputy and maybe even the judge. If they get him first then he may live, if the SO finds him or the nearby county SO's find him first then he probably won't be breathing much longer. Like my buddy says, it is now a race to see who will put the first round center of mass.
Looking back on your post you can count GBI and the Trooper's in that group too. :munchin

A.P.
Hundreds of law officials extended their massive search for a man suspected in a courthouse triple slaying as officials on Saturday tried to determine whether the fatal shooting of a U.S. customs agent was related.
The agent was found dead Saturday, and officials said his blue 1994 Chevrolet pickup, pistol and badge were stolen.
The shooting occurred in the same general area where courthouse rampage suspect Brian Nichols used to live.
"We don't know if this is the same suspect," Fulton County Police deputy Chief G.D. Miles said. "Whoever is driving this pickup truck is a cop killer."
Nichols, 33, was suspected of killing a judge and two other people at a downtown courthouse Friday, then stealing a reporter's car to escape. But Nichols apparently never took the reporter's green Honda Accord from the parking garage where he carjacked it and attempted more hijackings afterward, police said.
The customs agent was reportedly off-duty and is reported to have been driving a 1994 Chevrolet a pick-up with Georgia license number ATG 6121.

Hundreds of law officials extended their massive search for a man suspected in a courthouse triple slaying as officials on Saturday tried to determine whether the fatal shooting of a U.S. customs agent was related.
The agent was found dead Saturday, and officials said his 1994 Chevrolet pickup, pistol and badge were stolen.
The shooting occurred in the same general area where courthouse rampage suspect Brian Nichols used to live.
"We don't know if this is the same suspect," Fulton County Police deputy Chief G.D. Miles said. "Whoever is driving this pickup truck is a cop killer."
Nichols, 33, was suspected of killing a judge and two other people at a downtown courthouse Friday, then stealing a reporter's car.
Although police initially thought Nichols escaped in the car, he apparently left the green Honda Accord in the same parking garage that he had carjacked it from. Someone working in the area saw the car and called police.
“He went from one level of the parking lot to another, apparently,” Atlanta police spokesman John Quigley said early Saturday. “We don’t know if any other cars are missing. I don’t know if the person took public transportation or took another vehicle. There’s lots of options.”
A reward of $60,000 was being offered for information leading to Nichols’ capture. Atlanta Police Chief Richard Pennington said two tip lines would be staffed round-the-clock: (404) 730-7983 and (404) 730-7984.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard told MSNBC that the manhunt covered several Atlanta metro-area counties, though some officials said the suspect may have fled the state.
Looking for leads
Quigley said authorities were reviewing surveillance tapes “to see what leads we can develop from that.” One of those tapes came from CNN security cameras in the parking garage where the carjacking took place.
The photos show a black man resembling Nichols donning a jacket that CNN said belonged to Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Don O’Briant.
Nichols beat O’Briant and demanded his car after fleeing the courthouse, where he fatally shot a judge, a court reporter and deputy sheriff with a gun he stole from another deputy sheriff. The deputy sheriff who had her gun stolen was escorting Nichols to his rape trial.
Throughout Friday, police said they were looking for the reporter’s car, and highway message boards across the state issued descriptions of the vehicle. The report about the car being found came more than 13 hours after the slayings.
Authorities continued to ask for the public’s help in finding Nichols early Saturday, and Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Vernon Keenan said, “We do not know what type of vehicle he is in.”
Nichols is armed and dangerous, said Atlanta Police Chief Richard Pennington.

would you think he intentionally mislead the police?
On Friday, literary radio stations, live TV, and highway notice board pronounced the hunt for the green Accord. Turned out, he dropped the car almost immediately and took the subway instead. But there's no perfect crime.....
Not sure "how" the shooting occured or whether any deputies shot back, but would it take any skills to fatally shoot the victims? The media mentions MA training, but perhaps he learnt how to shoot as well?
Technicals aside, many people do expect a "different" outcome. At least he's not out there anymore.
So who is the brave soul that gets to represent him. AL or RL want to weigh in how this can even be a possibility that he's not guilty. What cosmic powers need to be aligned to get this POS off the hook? :confused:
