An Indiana judge and his wife were shot at their home after a shooter used a story about a lost dog to get them to open the door, authorities say.
Judge Steven Meyer was killed in the attack. His wife was injured and is expected to survive.
The shooting has triggered a major multi-agency manhunt. The defense attorney for a man recently sentenced by Judge Meyer says police have a "long list" of potential suspects from the judge's caseload.
Investigators have not named any suspects or confirmed a motive. They are examining the judge's recent court cases as part of the inquiry.
