An attorney who was found dead Monday is the suspect in a shooting at US District Judge Esther Salas’ home, the US Attorney’s Office in New Jersey said Monday afternoon.
Salas’ son was killed and her husband injured in the Sunday attack at the family’s home in North Brunswick, New Jersey.
The FBI identified Roy Den Hollander as the “primary subject,” and said that he is dead, the US Attorney’s office said in a statement. Den Hollander was a lawyer who once argued a case before Salas, according to court records.
Earlier, two law enforcement sources told CNN that the suspect died of what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The judge’s son, Daniel Anderl, a 20-year-old student at Catholic University, was killed in the shooting, and Mark Anderl, the judge’s husband and a defense attorney, was injured, according to Freda Wolfson, US District Chief Judge in New Jersey. Salas was unharmed, Wolfson said.
Mark Anderl is out of his second surgery and in stable condition, according to his law partner, David Oakley, who added that Anderl will need another operation Tuesday.
