“We are investigating how she stood there, but she was naked and hanging on the side of the building. We immediately closed the court and carried out rescue operations.” Said Rabat.

Rabat said the courthouse was partially closed to prevent anyone from exiting the door about eight floors down from the central street side of the courthouse. Notified by the Atlanta Police and Atlanta Fire Rescue, the Sheriff’s Office has set up a command post. Mr Rabat said he also supported the Fulton County Solicitor Office.
