An Ohio county judge was wounded Monday morning when he was walking toward a courthouse, and the alleged gunman was shot and killed.
Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr., 65, was shot near the courthouse in Steubenville, 30 miles west of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, WTOV reported.
Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla told CBS News that the judge, who was apparently armed, returned fire, killing the suspect.
Abdalla cited a courthouse video showing Judge Bruzzese firing about five shots at the gunman, who also fired about five shots. Earlier reports say that a probation officer shot the gunman.
