A suspended magistrate district judge in Pennsylvania shot her ex-boyfriend in the head while he slept last weekend in his Susquehanna Township home, police said in court documents.
Magisterial District Judge Sonya M. McKnight, 57, is facing charges of murder and aggravated assault. She was unable to post $300,000 bail.
Investigators wrote in charging documents that McKnight had gunshot residue on her hands an hour after her ex-boyfriend was shot in the bed of his home in the Harrisburg area early Saturday. Authorities say the victim is now blind in his right eye.
Police wrote that the ex-boyfriend had tried “numerous times” to get McKnight to move out after he ended their one-year relationship. Court documents say he came home to find in the home. When he returned from a restaurant, he told her he planned to get McKnight's mother's help to get her out of the home.
The victim awoke to “massive head pain” and was blinded, police said, and court documents say McKnight told him, “[victim's name] what did you do to yourself?" Police said he had suffered a gunshot wound to the right temple that exited his left temple, though he was adamant when speaking with police that he did not shoot himself.
When McKnight called 911 shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday, she “could not explain what happened and stated that she was sleeping and heard him screaming," police said in the affidavit.
