A Reno family court judge has announced his retirement 12 years after he survived an assassination attempt by a pawn shop owner who was angry about his divorce.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports Judge Chuck Weller has decided not to seek re-election. Weller was shot in the chest through the window of his courthouse chambers in 2006.

The gunman had killed his estranged wife before shooting the judge and is serving a life sentence.
Weller has had a tumultuous final term. He was fined $2,500 by the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline last year after it found he had made "disturbing" and "offensive" comments about women.
