| 2020-07-20 | |
I'm not sure if this belongs here, but the FedEx thing probably took some coordination and the son went to a Catholic college.
[Yahoo] The son of a federal judge in Newark, New Jersey, has been shot and killed, and her husband shot and injured in an attack at the family's home, according to law enforcement sources. The judge, Esther Salas, was not hurt. Francis "Mac" Womack, the mayor of North Brunswick, New Jersey, tells ABC News that the judge's son has died. The condition of husband was not immediately known, Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone told ABC News. The judge's son opened the door to the family's North Brunswick home at about 5 p.m. Sunday and was immediately shot, sources said. "He was shot through the heart," Womack said. The son was a freshman at Catholic University. "Shot through the heart and you're to blame. You give love a bad name" I'd look for Jon Bon Jovi The judge's husband was then shot multiple times, according to sources. A suspect "remains at-large," a law enforcement official said. Investigators have preliminary information that the shootings were carried out by someone dressed as a FedEx driver, according to multiple law enforcement sources. The mayor said investigators are now "trying to get a hard make on the vehicle" to try and track the suspect. "As a judge, she had threats from time to time, but everyone is saying that recently there had not been any," said Womack, who is personal friends with the judge and her husband. In a statement, the FBI Newark office said, "The FBI is investigating a shooting that occurred at the home of Judge Esther Salas in North Brunswick Township, New Jersey earlier this evening, July 19. We are looking for one subject and ask that anyone who thinks they may have relevant information please call FBI Newark at 973-792-3001. We are working closely with our state and local partners and will provide additional updates when available." The New Jersey State Police, the North Brunswick Police and the Middlesex County Prosecutor's office are also involved in the investigation. The U.S. Marshals have been called to provide the judge with a security detail, according to a law enforcement official. Judge Salas had received threats in the past, the sources said. Authorities are investigating whether there is any connection between those prior threats and the shooting, or whether it possibly involved the husband's work as a criminal defense attorney. "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," New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez said in a statement. "My prayers are with Judge Salas and her family, and that those responsible for this horrendous act are swiftly apprehended and brought to justice." Salas is the first Latina to serve on the federal bench in New Jersey. | |

| #23 Was the hit man's suicide pistol a percussion cap by chance ? |

| #22 How long has the "hit man" been dead actually? A truly excellent hit man would hit the lawyer who was known to be upset with the Judge, then try to hit the judge, and then go back and plant the gun and lawyer's body in place he can be easily found. Sounds like a Hillary type of plan to me. |

| #21 PICTURED: Anti-feminist lawyer who 'shot dead federal judge's son and wounded her husband while posing as a FedEx driver before killing himself in his car' |

| #20 The unnamed dead killer is described as a white man in g(r)omgoru’s article. So unless he turns out to be an Antifa/BLM cadre, it’s just your plain vanilla lurid crime. |

| #12 Either way, mission accomplished. She'll have to recuse herself from the case since she's too emotionally involved now. But is there a reason she would be an inordinate threat to anyone implicated in Epstein's video library? |

| #11 Salas will be inconsolable. The shooters will have to come back and finish the job. |

| #10 Hitter with a Fed Ex uniform? Son was collateral damage? Was the hitter going after the father or the mother. Deutsche Bank/Epstein money laundering connection? Old law case retribution for things that went badly? Message to others? Neighbor might have had video of the hit. Tying off loose ends? |

| #9 Another coincidence makes this Epstein storyline begin to rival the Clinton associates coincidental suicide rate. Sorry sounds like a very professional hitter was involved, or a hallmark of NJ gangbangers is it? Maybe the FBI could check outbound flights to someplace with lots of lederhosen? |
