State District Judge Tom Greenwell was found dead from a gunshot wound Monday night in his chambers, Nueces County Sheriff Jim Kaelin confirmed.
Corpus Christi police, medics and Nueces County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded about 7 p.m. to the courthouse after a report that a man was found with a gunshot wound to the head. The courthouse closed at 5 p.m.
It was not clear whether the gun passed through the security checkpoint, which includes a metal detector. Attorneys, judges, and some media representatives who have courthouse identification badges typically aren’t required to pass through the security checkpoint.
