According to reports, a former New York judge apparently shot and killed himself while FBI agents arrived at his home to arrest him.

Former county court judge and acting New York state supreme court justice Stewart Rosenwasser died in a shooting in Orange County on Tuesday.

He was working for the Orange County District Attorney’s office, CBS News noted.

Rosenwasser faced allegations of accepting bribes and leveraging his position in the DA’s office to initiate a criminal investigation.

“The FBI is reviewing an agent-involved shooting that occurred earlier this morning in Campbell Hall, NY. The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents seriously. In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI’s Inspection Division. As this is an ongoing matter, we have no further details to provide,” the FBI said in a statement, according to ABC 7.

ABC 7 reports:

Rosenwasser has been charged with abusing the authority of his job at the Orange County DA’s office by accepting $63,000 in bribe payments to investigate and prosecute two individuals who are related to the man who allegedly paid the bribes, Mout’z Soudani.

Federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York declined to comment.

Rosenwasser resigned from the Orange County District Attorney’s office in June.

“It’s truly heartbreaking that it ended this way. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family,” Orange County DA David Hoovler said in a statement, according to NBC New York.

Per NBC New York:

Rosenwasser was indicted on charges of bribery, conspiracy to commit bribery, extortion under color of official right, making false statements, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and honest services wire fraud, the indictment states.

The FBI went to Rosenwasser’s home in the Orange County town of Campbell Hall early Tuesday morning to take him into custody when he pointed a gun at agents and at least one shot was fired by the FBI, two sources familiar with the case tell NBC New York. Rosenwasser then barricade himself and apparently took his own life, the sources said.
