I thought nothing could be more horrible, but she died of a natural cause. I can't imagine if she had been murdered.

2. I wondered if the gunman didn't want to hurt her in this precise way

instead of killing her? I would much rather die than lose my only child. I'm just sick for her.

and he was shot. Judge apparently was in a basement at the time so didn't come to the door.
So it's hard to figure out if gunman wanted to kill the judge or wanted to kill her relatives.
