County employee: At least 3 people dead in shooting at Berrien courthouse

Andrew Krietz , WZZM 3:22 PM. EDT July 11, 2016

ST. JOSEPH, MICH. - At least three people are dead at the Berrien County Courthouse following a shooting, an employee at the county prosecutor's office said.

Three people are dead and one person is injured, said the employee, who wished not to be named. Michigan State Police confirmed the shooting around 2:30 p.m. Monday, July 11.

Two of the people dead are court bailiffs. The other person dead is the shooter, the employee said.

State police have not confirmed those numbers nor the status of the shooter.

The employee at the prosector's office said the courthouse is under lockdown, and employees are being kept in their offices.

We have a crew headed to the scene to learn more.

The anti-Bailiff hate movement is making itself known.

Never any more dangerous time when dealing with an inmate than during transportation.

A fatal shooting took place in the St. Louis County (Mo.) courthouse (where I used to work) several years ago when a man became irate over his divorce proceedings. Some folks are already at the breaking point by the time they get to court, it seems.

If an inmate knows he's looking at many years in prison he may feel that he has nothing left to lose. Lots of inmates escape from courthouses. They simply aren't truly secure buildings and custody transfers are going on. Last escape in my county was from the courthouse.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
