Atlanta Courthouse Murders - Taskforce to be Named
Link
Sheriff Myron Freeman is ready to announce a task force to look into security problems at the Fulton County Courthouse, one month after the fatal shootings there.
Freeman has been criticized for taking so long to name a task force after the shootings that began at the courthouse March eleventh and left four dead. But he says it's taken a month for some of the agencies to commit -- including the U-S Marshals Office and the National Sheriff's Association. He also says he would like representatives from Fulton County judges and commissioners to also participate.
The task force will look at the department's courthouse security policies. Fulton County judges have authorized their own outside experts to look at security as well.
