The sole suspect in the shooting of the son and husband of New Jersey federal judge Esther Salas was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound
- A self-described anti-feminist lawyer who investigators say killed a federal judge’s son in New Jersey and wounded her husband was found dead on Monday after a manhunt, the FBI said.
While the motive for the shooting remained unclear, Hollander had once had a case in front of the judge and had published an online screed filled with misogynistic and racist remarks in which he derided her ethnicity and career.The attack occurred Sunday evening. Investigators say a man dressed in a FedEx uniform approached the home and opened fire, killing the son, Daniel Anderl, and injuring her husband, 63-year-old defense attorney Mark Anderl. Salas, who was in the basement, was not hurt.
She also presided over a 2015 case brought by a New Jersey woman seeking to register for the male-only military draft. Hollander appeared for the plaintiff before being replaced in June 2019, court records show. Yet in more than 2,000 pages of writings online Hollander disparaged Salas’ ethnicity and dismissed her achievements as the product of affirmative action. “Female judges didn’t bother me as long as they were middle age or older black ladies,” he wrote. Latina judges, on the other hand, were driven by an inferiority complex and “usually trouble,” he said.
Mark Anderl is in stable condition after undergoing surgery at a local hospital, North Brunswick Mayor Francis Womack said.The son was an aspiring lawyer who was a student at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. He had just finished celebrating his 20th birthday with visiting university friends, according to Marion Costanza, a family friend who lives three houses away.
