FBI investigating fatal shooting at home of NJ Judge [UPDATE: Shooter Found Dead, Identified]

Authorities are investigating a fatal shooting at the home of a New Jersey judge this evening. 

According to reports, the son of Judge Ester Salas opened the door for the gunman, who was said to have been dressed as a delivery person. The son was fatally shot, while the husband was shot and injured by the perpetrator who fled the New Brunswick home. The judge was not injured.

“Judge Salas and her family are in our thoughts at this time as they cope with this senseless act,” Governor Phil Murphy said. “This tragedy is our latest reminder that gun violence remains a crisis in our country and that our work to make every community safer isn’t done.”

UPDATE: The suspect believed to have carried out the attack on the son and husband of Judge Salas has reportedly been found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot. The suspect has been identified as Roy Den Hollander.

  1. Murphy so quick to use this occurence to further his twisted agenda dishing out the liberal catch phrase calling this a gun violence problem while blatantly ignoring the deeper problems; gangs, lack of deterrence, maniacs with any type of weapon,revenge killing, ect. Instead, he calls out gun violence as if guns are the problem. They’re actually the solution, lib.

  2. Why not check the registration…..oh wait, its probably an illegal gun, never the less lets punish the legal gun owners again.

    Hey Governor knucklehead get the illegal guns off the street if you want to lower gun violence.

  3. Gun violence? Is he kidding? Some of the 7 mitzvos of bnai noach is setting up courts of law, and not stealing, and not committing murder. Yet, violence from BLM is condoned with impunity. Releasing convicts from jail and giving them free this and that is on the Democratic agenda. Please frum establishment, think of the Hashem and our Nation. Do NOT vote Democrat just for the money benefits. Have Emuna and Bitachon that Torah will thrive without voting for those who violate Hashem’s will. Remember that once immorality was legalized, the verdict of the mabul was finalized. Please let us unite in Torah values and vote Republican.

  4. It’s a reminder about gun violence remaining a crisis….

    What is Murphy talking about!! It’s a reminder that the criminals are taking over and have no compunction or Hesitation to assassinate a Judge’s family due to the Democrats increasing leniency towards vile thugs and criminals in our communities. Willing to bet this scumbag was probably let go 10 times due to Democrat bail reforms.
    Shameful!

  5. The governor of this state is a joke. These are criminals not law abiding citizens that own guns and use them for violent acts. Only protestors can come to your home and threaten you. Criminals get free rides and let out of jail in this stupid corrupt state. God bless that judge and her family. This country has been torn apart by mob a crimals volucence. Keep letting them out of jail.

  6. What does gun violence have to do with this?
    The answer is that democrats like to then pass gun reform, thereby removing the victims’ personal protection while ignoring the very gun violence of the culprits. That’s all.

  7. The killer was knocked off for screwing up by not taking out the intended target and leaving clues at the murder scene. The real masterminds that are fearful of what this Judge might decide in their case are trying to tie up loose ends.

  8. Whoever believes that he committed suicide, I HAVE A BRIDGE TO SELL YOU!!!

    This all has to do with Jeffrey Epstein!!!

    They say that the killer was an attorney that was upset at the judge.

    Just for your information. Attorney’s never get so angry at judges to want to kill them, it’s a business for the Attorney’s and either they win or lose!!!

  9. So Pillow in drum set, according to your understanding – here comes the real Clinton MOB to remind any other federal Judge out there not to dig any deeper into their monkey business.

  10. Judge Salas’s father is a Yid, her mother is a Cuban immigrant, she uses not her fathers or husbands last name but her mothers last name Salas.
