This July 11, 2020 surveillance photo provided by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department shows who is believed to be Roy Den Hollander, passing through Union Station in Los Angeles. Officials announced Friday, July 24, 2020, that Hollander fatally shot Marc Angelucci on July 11, 2020, in California. He then on July 19, 2020, shot and killed U.S. District Judge Esther Salas’ son and wounded her husband in New Jersey, and was found dead the next day.

I read this weekend’s New York Times profile of Roy Den Hollander, the lawyer who law enforcement officials have identified as the shooter in the tragic killing of the 20-year old son of a federal judge, with an equal mix of horror and concern.
Den Hollander’s body was found in a rental car on a rural road in New York’s Catskills after an apparent suicide the day after the violent July 19 attack at the home of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas in North Brunswick, New Jersey. Officials say Hollander wore a Federal Express uniform as he shot and killed Salas’ 20-year-old son, Daniel Anderl, and shot her husband, attorney Mark Anderl, leaving him in critical condition. Salas, who was in the home’s basement at the time, wasn’t physically harmed.
