"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. . . .

"The FBI, U.S. Marshals, New Jersey State Police and the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General all have personnel on scene investigating.

"In a statement, Gov. Phil Murphy said, 'Judge Salas and her family are in our thoughts at this time as they cope with this senseless act. 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.'"
