Husband, Son of Federal Judge Shot at Their New Jersey Home
Three senior law enforcement officials tell News 4 New York that a gunman shot Judge Esther Salas’s spouse and child at their North Brunswick home around 5 p.m. Sunday. Both are in very critical condition, the sources said.
Preliminary indications are that the husband answered the door and was shot multiple times; the son came running to the door and was shot as well before the gunman fled, the sources said. Judge Salas was believed to be in the basement at the time of the shooting.
Anyone hear about the mass shooting in Peoria IL early this morning? It just hit the CFP site even though it happened at 4:45 AM. Story says “party”, “gangs”, commenter says “blm protest” and that the shooter was black.
So, no reason for MSM reporting to be slow or non-existent, right?
