CORPUS CHRISTI — State District Judge Tom Greenwell was found dead from a gunshot wound Monday night in his chambers, Nueces County Sheriff Jim Kaelin confirmed.
Corpus Christi police, medics and Nueces County Sheriff's Office deputies responded about 7 p.m. to the courthouse after a report that a man was found with a gunshot wound to the head.The courthouse closed at 5 p.m.
It was unclear how a gun could have passed through security or been within the county building, equipped with security personnel and a metal detector. Attorneys, judges, and some media outlets who have courthouse identification badges typically aren't required to pass through the security checkpoint.

Those that uphold the law are targets too!
What did he do to piss zero off???
Suicide? As the story said it's pretty hard for someone not a judge or police officer to get a gun past security.
duh
Suicide? As the story said it’s....”
Good point
probably suicide....lets wait and see before we blame the usual suspects..(not saying it wasn't Kenyacide, but lets just wait and see)
See Breaking News Sidebar.
Thanks!!!
Yeah. My first thought was suicide.
I worked for Erie County once and they would wave me past security if I was wearing my id badge- I often thought how easy it would be for anyone to bring one into the building
(not a comforting thought- the welfare offices had some crazy people hanging around)
All it would take is a confident attitude, a new or well pressed pair of khakis with a white button up polo with a tie and a fake badge.
You could stroll right past the detector if all the “security guards” were busy, and they would never think twice.
“..often thought how easy it would be for anyone ...”
Yeah, How many guards will admit, ..”I wasn’t doing my job..”?
If DOJ gets involved they control the evidence and testimony.
It only takes corruption at the top....
(even if this is later explained, it is a risk that I am concerned about... The Good Guys getting wasted..)
Unintended Consequences?
“..Unintended Consequences?..”
“intended....”?
I lived in Corpus Christi in the 80’s.
The dems were pretty much in the pocket of the Mexican drug dealers.
If it’s not suicide, which is still a possibility, I would look at a Mexican drug cartel trying to get a dem elected.
Drug Cartel?
Referring to the subject matter of the book by the same name. Read it. It’s a great book.
Drug Cartel?....”
Life is cheap to the Dems/Libs
