He also had a years-long case before Salas in which he was contesting the government's refusal to allow women to register for the military draft, the media reported further.The gunman appeared at Salas's home in North Brunswick, New Jersey, on Sunday afternoon, wearing an outfit described to police as a FedEx delivery uniform.Both Mark Anderl, 63, a defence attorney and former Essex County assistant prosecutor, and Del Anderl, 20, a student at Catholic University in D.C., were shot after one of them opened the door for the gunman around 5 p.m. (local time).The FBI had said it is looking for one suspect, with assistance from the Marshals Service, which is charged with protecting federal judges.Authorities have not given any indication of a motive in the shooting so far, however, Attorney General William Barr said, "This kind of lawless, evil action carried out against a member of the federal judiciary will not be tolerated, and I have ordered the full resources of the FBI and US Marshals Service to investigate the matter."Salas, 51, is New Jersey's first Hispc woman to serve as a US District Court judge.
