Not sure if it's worthy of a new thread, in Belgium a judge and a court clerk have been shot.

And about the law enforcement view on these things, I've noticed that if a cop is shot somewhere then the other cops are all like "We gotta get this guy and nail him to the wall!!11!" but if it's just someone who shoots average people then cops are all "These things happen, guns are ok".
