Son of US District Judge Esther Salas killed, husband shot in their New Jersey home

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. —The son of a federal judge has died, and the judge's husband critically injuredThe FBI, Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office and North Brunswick police are among numerous law enforcement agencies looking for the person responsible. The shootings occurred at the North Brunswick home of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas, and killed her son, Daniel, Chief District Judge Freda Wolfson told The Associated Press.

“I know Judge Salas and her husband well, and was proud to recommend her to President Obama for nomination to New Jersey’s federal bench. My prayers are with Judge Salas and her family, and that those responsible for this horrendous act are swiftly apprehended and brought to justice,” U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J. said in a statement late Sunday.

Another neighbor said she did not hear any gunshots, but noticed something was amiss when an ambulance arrived. Salas was nominated by President Barack Obama and confirmed in 2011. Prior to that she served as a U.S. Magistrate Judge in New Jersey, after working as an assistant public defender for several years.

LucyTurnbull_AO So sad 😢

Deepest condolences

It's JAIL time.

MiaFarrow This sounds like a planned hit, on a federal judge no less. Possible motive has my antenna up.

The son opened the door.

Heartbreaking. 💔All condolences. Need the best, most independent investigators out there.

A judge and her family attacked. So did Epstein really kill himself? Or did someone take care of it for him?

So sorry to hear.. deepest condolences

It looks like the work of Isreali Mosaad. It's well known that both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell known ties to the Israeli Agency and may have executed Jeffrey Epstein as well as been involved in the sex trafficking scheme of many political and social elites.

IAmSophiaNelson This is horrible. Clearly someone in Trump camp sent a hitman to delay the proceedings. Does it it work with Judge Salas recusing herself now OR does it backfire when she goes after these bastards hard?!?!

MiaFarrow The truth is trump has everything to do with everything that involves his criminality wether directly or indirectly Intimidation of a judge on any level is bad really bad but this is disgusting and has trump written all over it Everything trump touches dies Everything is Corrupt

Horrible situation! Somebody knows something. Put out a big reward! 💵

Ring doorbells ppl

The Clintons are at it again.

'Boogaloo Boyz'?
