ST. CLAIR COUNTY, IL (KTVI)– As a Mother seeks justice

On one side, we’ll tell you about the drug suspects.   The Feds accuse the suspects of bringing tens of thousands of dollars of heroin down from Chicago.  On the other side, we’ll reveal the Court officers sworn to protect us from these drugs.  Instead, we’ll show you a tie to one of the suspects.

Texas judge is found dead from gunshot wound in courthouse

By Debra Cassens Weiss

A judge in Corpus Christi, Texas, was discovered dead in his chambers Monday evening, the victim of a gunshot wound to the head.

Kii News and KRISTV.com say Judge Tom Greenwell, 57, died in an apparent suicide. Authorities wouldn’t tell the Corpus Christi Caller-Times whether foul play was suspected, but police weren’t looking for an active shooter late Monday. The Associated Press and United Press International have summaries of the Caller-Times story.

Courthouse visitors must pass through a metal detector, but judges with concealed carry permits are allowed to bring guns to work.

Greenwell was first elected in 2001 and was the first Republican to win a county-wide election in Nueces County. He won re-election in 2006 and 2010, but lost an appeals court race in 2012. He presided over the 319th District Court as well as a new Veterans Court in Nueces County.

Friends and associates described Greenwell as a caring, fair and dedicated judge who arrived early for work and stayed late. Neighbors are caring for the judge’s pet cat, Shadow. The neighbors told the Caller-Times that Greenwell had no family in the area.

Shot fired into rear of Jacksonville federal judge’s home Sunday
By Dana Treen

The Times-Union

Timothy J. Corrigan was in a family room when a loud bang was heard.

At least one shot ripped into the Jacksonville home of a federal judge early Sunday, shattering a window and glass door.

No one was hurt at U.S. District Judge Timothy Corrigan’s home, where he and another person were sitting in a family room when they heard a loud bang, according to a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office report.

The report does not provide Corrigan’s Southside address, which is protected information under public records law.

Police were called to the house shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday and found a bullet hole in a rear window and glass door of the house. There was shrapnel on the floor and puncture marks on a leather chair. A closet was also damaged.

No projectile or bullet casing was found. A police dog was unable to track any farther than three houses northeast of the house, which backs up to a lake.

The FBI and U.S. Marshals Office are investigating the case along with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as well as the Sheriff’s Office. The FBI said neighbors reported hearing one gunshot.

Neighbors of Corrigan said FBI agents canvassed the neighborhood Sunday. One resident said investigators asked to look at the lake area behind his house.

The FBI released a statement saying only that they were investigating the report of a shot fired near the home of a federal employee.

Corrigan was sworn in as a federal judge for the Middle District of Florida on Sept. 14, 2002.

In a statement from Corrigan’s office, the judge said he would not comment during the investigation but may make a statement later. He said he appreciated the response by the Sheriff’s Office and had full confidence in the follow-up investigation by federal agencies.
