Abdalla said it appears the suspect walked up to the judge as he approached the courthouse and shot him several times in the stomach at point-blank range.
The judge was carrying a weapon and returned fire, as did a probation officer on the scene, Abdalla said.
"If there wasn't a probation officer, this gentleman would have kept shooting until he killed the judge," the sheriff said.
Abdalla said shooter was hit three times.
Once the bullet slugs are removed from the suspect's body, it will be determined if the judge or the officer hit the suspect, Abdalla said.
