Lawyer and Twitter user Jennifer S. Lubinski is at the courthouse and provides a harrowing on-scene report (politicized statement in her first tweet aside).

@MauryCompson I was on my way in when heard shots, ran back into garage and hid behind a car, then a corner. Was surreal—

I heard that shooter shot himself, also heard someone was taken from lobby in handcuffs. I saw two run from scene …—

A woman was shot right in front of my partner. He hid behind our boxes of exhibits on handcart. He says woman will not make it.—
