An Ohio sheriff says a judge fired back at a man who shot him outside a courthouse, killing him.
One suspect has been killed and another is in custody, CBS Pittsburgh reports.
The incident happened outside of the Jefferson County Courthouse around 8 a.m. along the Ohio River in Steubenville, roughly 30 miles west of Pittsburgh, according to WTRF-TV.
Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla says courthouse video shows Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr. firing about five shots at the gunman, who also fired about five shots. The gunman was then killed by a probation officer.

Most federal judges carry. In Texas judges are required to carry. In Kansas they are allowed to carry and come in through a separate door to avoid the screening.
Was the judge carrying a Judge, a Raging Judge, or a Public Defender? ;)
I had a great-uncle who was a judge in Pennsylvania. He always carried. He lived way out in the boonies. Our family always worried that someone he sent to prison would get out and come looking for him.
Indiana judges are allowed to carry w/o permit; they are exempt as the statute defining the “law enforcement officers” exemption includes judges and prosecutors. However, there is no requirement that a judge carry, nor is there any established course of firearms training for judges.
There should be.
Yeah Judge Dredd = 1
Losers = 0
I think if any citizen is required to get a concealed weapon permit, all citizens should be required to. Judges, prosecutors and cops. Every one should be equal under the law.
