A suspect in the shooting death of a New Jersey federal judge’s son and injury of her husband was found dead on Monday afternoon. ABC News reported that it was via an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The FBI announced the shooting in North Brunswick Township in Middlesex County at the home of US District Judge Esther Salas on Twitter. In the tweet they indicated they were searching for a suspect who had fled the scene.
The AP reported authorities found the man near Liberty, New York. The suspect was an attorney, who currently has a case before Salas, but his name has not yet been released.
Salas’ 20-year-old son, Daniel Anderl, was fatally shot in the incident, according to the New York Post. The husband of the judge, Mark Anderl, a criminal defense attorney, was injured.
Salas was in her basement at the time and was not injured. Daniel answered the door to the suspect, who appeared to be a FedEx worker, when the shooting occurred.
Authorities told media members that Mark was next to his son.
