Twitter is already talking about the alleged gunman having ties to Russia and a very strange background. Way too soon to be certain. Posting what I have seen so far. It it turns out to be incorrect, I'll post that.

NYC Attorney Out To Reclaim His Ex Wife From Feminism's Clutches, Get Laid Easier
‘Anti-Feminist’ Is Identified as Suspect in Killing of Son of Federal Judge in N.J.About eight years ago, Roy Den Hollander was living the high life. He'd just returned to New York from a decade working in Russia with a pretty, young, docile Russian bride in tow and was set to live the high life. Then he found out what all his friends and acquaintances in Russia knew but hadn't told him (and I know, because I called some of them and asked): that she'd married him for her green card and his money and set on about divorcing him.
Federal authorities are investigating whether a lawyer was the gunman who shot into the New Jersey home of a federal judge, killing her son and wounding her husband, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the matter.
New York State Police found the lawyer’s body near Liberty, N.Y., on Monday morning, hours after the shooting occurred late Sunday afternoon at the home of the judge, Esther Salas of Federal District Court in New Jersey. The authorities believe that the lawyer died after shooting himself, the official said.
The lawyer was identified as Roy Den Hollander, who in 2015 brought a lawsuit before Judge Salas that challenged the male-only military draft, according to two law enforcement officials.
The class-action lawsuit accused the Selective Service System, the independent government agency that maintains a database of Americans eligible for a potential draft, of violating women’s equal protection rights by requiring only men to register with the service. Judge Salas ruled that the lawsuit could proceed, and the case is ongoing.Mr. Den Hollander was a self-described anti-feminist who had sued nightclubs for offering ladies’ night discounts and Columbia University for offering courses on women’s studies.
As part of the investigation into the lawyer’s death, the police found a package that was addressed to Judge Salas, according to another law enforcement official briefed on the matter.
“There’s a pretty good level of confidence he’s the guy,” the official said.
