Authorities: Fla. Courthouse Shooter Had Ammo, Gas Mask

Posted on Friday 9 May 2008

About 12 seconds was all it took for two bailiffs to gun down a man who shot at them in a St. Petersburg, Fla., courthouse lobby, and authorities said the swift response helped prevent anyone else from being seriously hurt. Glen Lee Powell was carrying a .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun, 79 rounds of ammunition, an extra gun magazine, a lengthy fighting knife and a gas mask. The courthouse reopened Thursday morning.
