In reply to the discussion: CNN: Suspect in shooting of federal judge's son and husband at her New Jersey home has died [View all]Hassin Bin Sober
(26,352 posts)28. We'll know in a matter of days if this guy had any business before the court.
This is sounding like the Chicago Lefkow case I linked above.
Everyone thought the Lefkow killing was loony racist Mathew Hale and his Church of The Creator loons. It turned out to be some dude who had a medical malpractice suit dismissed by the judge.
Similar tragedy. He was gunning for the judge but killed the judges mom and husband. Then killed himself when he was about to be caught.
This very possibly drug gang related. But it could be a single individual whose life was wrecked one way or another in court.
Judges deal on a daily basis with people at the end of their rope.

OP
Also we shouldn't "jump to conclusions" that since the Judge wasnt shot that she wasnt the target.

Does this count if the "assassin" kills one, wounds one, and leaves one completely unharmed?

I don't know if you could possibly be more wrong if you tried. Maybe you are trying?

This is early information but might prove to be a lot less conspiratorial than some here predicted.

Speculation here but I bet she sanctioned the fuck out of him for something egregious.
