- Share via
Workers at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court here were on edge after two .22-caliber bullets were fired through the second-floor window of a judge’s chambers. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Lynne Riddle said she was doing paperwork in her chambers most of the day Sunday but briefly left the courthouse around 12:30 p.m., shortly before an attorney working nearby heard gunfire. When Riddle returned, she noticed that two bullets had shattered the window near her computer. “We’re all very uneasy now. We feel terrorized,” Riddle said. The episode follows a wave of vandalism and car burglaries in the parking lot and streets surrounding the courthouse.
