A gunman shot and killed the 20-year-old son of a federal judge in New Jersey and shot and injured her husband Sunday at the family home, the state’s chief district judge said.
The shootings occurred at the North Brunswick home of US District Judge Esther Salas, and killed her son, Daniel, Chief District Judge Freda Wolfson said. Her husband, defence lawyer Mark Anderl, was injured, Wolfson said.
The gunman posed as a delivery driver, according to a judiciary official who wasn’t authorised to comment and spoke anonymously to the AP. They said Salas was in the basement at the time and wasn’t injured and her husband is recovering from surgery.
The perpetrator was not in custody, the official said. The FBI tweeted on Sunday night that it’s looking for one suspect in the shootings. Salas, seated in Newark, was nominated by President Obama and confirmed in 2011.
