Bailiffs fatally shoot armed man inside Florida courthouse

“It's unfortunate that a life was lost, but the public, employees, judges and others in (the) courthouse were properly protected”

A man who was supposed to be returning divorce papers at a courthouse pulled out a gun there instead Wednesday, opening fire in the lobby before two bailiffs fatally shot him.

Jim Bordner said. Read more
