All he was trying to do was go to work.
In the minutes that ticked by in the 8 a.m. hour on Monday morning, Judge Joseph J. Bruzzese Jr. was walking through the narrow alley in the shadow of the Jefferson County courthouse when a man got out of his car in the nearby bank parking lot and opened fire.
Police say Bruzzese returned fire, and a nearby probation officer stepped in and ultimately killed the suspect. Another man who was with the attacker, sitting in the car with him, was taken into custody.
The majestic Jefferson County courthouse on Market Street stood silent the rest of the day -- the two Corinthian columns support a pediment with a statue of Lady Justice; she stood brilliantly and stared out over the city of roughly 18,000 souls.
Given the odd shade of the skies due to the eclipse, the scene was disquieting.
In an emotional press conference hours later, Jefferson County Sheriff Fred J. Abdalla told reporters that Bruzzese drew a gun and fired at least five rounds at the alleged shooter.

So, is the judge a liberal anti-gun guy? Just curious
Or perhaps the Circuit Judge?

Does anyone know what the heck happened to production of the Circuit Judge?
Did the judges’ union bully Rossi?
I’ve been looking for a new model for more than two years, and the best that any local dealer will do is put my name on a list for “when” they become available, as “they’re made in batches”.
Wikipedia says 26, second only to "Washington", with 31.

Circuit Judge is a rifle, not a pistol. Kinda hard to “carry concealed” a rifle.
Wow! Those judges in Jefferson County, Montana are tough!
It is not clear if this was a personal weapon, or if probation officers are armed as part of their duties.
The best I can find out, whether probation officers in Ohio are armed or not is at the option of the county.
Yep, figured your post was tongue-in-cheek as well.
Used the opportunity to again (earlier post weeks ago) ask about the scarcity of new Circuit Judge rifles.
So, how many counties will “require” a name change due to racism?
That’s a to-do list for leftist freaks.
Stubbenville, Ohio
Birthplace of Dean Martin.
And Traci Lords.
About a decade ago, the county pols in Washington St. renamed “King County” to “King County”, as in after Martin Luther King, Jr.
I know a probation officer here in Texas. He is not able to arrest nor is issued a weapon.
In Texas, no, unless it was a personal weapon.
MLK shares the same first name as the Fraud’s “wife”.
Wow, haven’t heard her name in a couple decades....Knew some dudes when I was in the circuit called their band ‘Lord Tracy’ in honor of her.
