Good guys with guns are the best defense against bad guys with guns. In the State of Ohio, Jefferson County Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr., 65, was attacked by the father of a football player convicted of rape in 2013. The gunman used an ambush-style attack against the judge in an apparent deliberate attack. The suspect fired upon the judge, and Bruzzese fired back five shots, as did his companion, an unnamed probation officer at the scene, who not only fired five shots of his own on the would-be assassin, but non-fatally struck the gunman.
Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla said. The judge was hospitalized but his condition cannot be released.
"This was cold blooded, attempted murder on a judge," he said.
Judge Joseph Corabi, who also works at the courthouse, said Bruzzese was "clearly an intended target" because judges park in reserved spots next to the courthouse.
Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor said the attack is a reminder of the real potential for violence against judges, and urged court employees to take extra precautions in both personal and professional activites. She added that violence against judges is an attack on the rule of law.
