(CNN) A Texas judge is in a local hospital after being shot overnight outside her Austin home, a police lieutenant said.
Travis County District Judge Julie Kocurek was struck around 10:15 p.m. (11:15 p.m. ET) Friday near her house in the Texas capital's Tarrytown neighborhood, said Austin police Lt. Lee Rogers.
The judge was last listed in stable condition at a nearby hospital, Rogers told CNN on Saturday morning.
Austin police Cmdr. Mark Spangler told reporters that officers arrived within about five minutes of a 911 call, after which Kocurek was taken to University Medical Center-Brackenridge, according to video posted on the Austin American-Statesman's website.

Flipping by judges is not uncommon. See it on both sides.
Obviously I have no specific knowledge of this shooting, but a recent change in state law should make things safer for her and others around her, by not letting locally-elected Austin judges and prosecutors have power over statewide and national-level politicians (i.e., the tactic used by the left to go after Kay, Delay, and Perry). The change came too late for her, but thankfully she’ll recover.
A robbery?
Four shots and only a non life threatening hit, doesn’t sound to cartelish. More like thugs or personnel vendetta.
Not knocking the police, merely emphasising that you can’t depend on them to be everywhere when needed, we have to be ready to take care of ourselves.
Very well to do neighborhood.
