Teresa Giudice is heartbroken over the shooting that occurred at Judge Esther Salas’ home on Sunday night.

“Teresa was very shaken by the news and was very emotional when she heard about it,” James Leonard Jr., attorney for Giudice, told Page Six on Monday. “She told me that would be praying very heavily for Judge Salas and her family. This is absolutely devastating.”

Salas was the judge in Teresa and her husband Joe’s fraud trial in 2014. Salas sentenced the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 48, to 15 months in prison and Joe to 41 months in prison. Teresa served about a year behind bars, while Joe served his complete sentence and is now living in Italy as his deportation appeal was denied.

The New York Post reported on Sunday that Salas’ 20-year-old son was shot dead and her husband was critically injured in attack at their home.

Days before the shooting, Salas was assigned to handle a class-action lawsuit from Deutsche Bank investors who claimed that the bank failed to monitor “high-risk” customers, including Jeffrey Epstein.
