US police are searching for a man suspected of fatally shooting a judge who had awarded custody of the suspect’s children to his wife on the day of the killing.

The judge was shot in his driveway on Thursday evening while his wife and son were home, just hours after he ruled against the suspect in a divorce case, authorities said.
