FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A man distraught about his divorce case entered the crowded lobby of the Broward County Courthouse Friday morning, pointed a handgun at himself and demanded to speak with a judge.

Courthouse deputies saw Marin Stroia, 59, of Oakland Park enter the courthouse lobby through an unmanned exit door at 9:25 a.m. As deputies approached, Stroia sat on the lobby floor next to the escalator, the weapon pointed at his chest.

While filling in during bond court hearings Friday, retired Judge Joel T. Lazarus said he became aware of what was happening one floor below and was told that a man wanted to speak with a judge.
