[narrator]
Thirty-one-year-old Paul Wade has been charged
with two counts of murder
and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
Three weeks earlier, 25-year-old Alexis McCrary
and 26-year-old Edward Smith,
who lived together,
were both shot and killed on the same afternoon,
a short distance away from each other.
When police reviewed surveillance footage
of the crime scenes,
they spotted who they believe is Wade
pulling the trigger.
One of Wade's associates, 32-year-old Maurice Gibson,
told police he gave Wade a ride home
after the shootings.
So he was charged with being complicit to murder.
Wade, who was already on probation
for drugs and firearm possession
was charged with both murders.
Police had no motive for the shootings.
Today, Wade appears before Judge Anne Haynie
for an arraignment.
Shadowing the judge is an eighth-grade student
who's interested in someday becoming a judge.
Seated in the gallery
are family members of the two victims,
who immediately got off on the wrong foot
with a courtroom deputy.
[deputy shushes] Quiet in the courtroom!
[Judge Haynie] Quiet!
Ma'am, you're gonna have to leave the courtroom.
[indistinct chatter]
-[indistinct chatter] -I believe you.
-[indistinct chatter] -[deputy shushes]
[Judge Haynie] No talking in the courtroom.
-[woman] Yes, ma'am. -[Judge Haynie] That's all.
Go ahead.
[narrator]
but since Wade's attorney isn't in court today,
Judge Haynie reschedules the hearing for a later date.
But as Wade is removed from the courtroom,
he mutters an expletive
toward the family members in the gallery.
-[bleep] -[angry chatter]
[crowd screaming]
-[crowd screaming] -Hey, hey!
[overlapping chatter]
[tape rewinding]
[narrator]
to go after Wade...
[overlapping chatter]
[narrator]
[angry, panicked chatter]
[narrator]
which leads to a hallway in the judge's chambers,
while the judge and the terrified eighth grader
can only watch.
[crowd shouting]
Somebody help!
[narrator]
who chased Wade down the hallway.
-[crowd shouting] -Help!
[narrator]
alerting security.
Help! Help!
[Judge Haynie] Get out of the way!
[narrator]
and head for the hallway skirmish,
while other family members try to remain calm.
He's wrong!
-He's wrong. -It's all right, calm down.
[indistinct chatter]
[narrator]
to help keep the peace.
[Judge Haynie]
-[Judge Haynie] Just stay calm. -[deputy] Get him out!
[narrator]
As deputies use pepper spray
in an attempt to diffuse the situation.
Four people from the gallery were arrested
and charged with disorderly conduct
and obstructing government operations,
both misdemeanors.
Wade was unhurt.
His case is pending and he has yet to enter a plea.
As for Maurice Gibson,
he's pled not guilty,
and his case is also pending.
