Several prominent elected officials were revealed to be on a hit list found in the vehicle of a man suspected of killing a former Wisconsin judge on Friday.
The most prominent names included Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, according to the local ABC station WISN. The list was found in the vehicle of the unnamed suspect who is accused of opening fire on former Juneau County Judge John Roemer, who was found fatally shot and zip-tied to a chair in New Lisbon, Wisconsin, on Friday, the report added.
“This does appear to be a targeted act, and the individual who’s a suspect appears to have had other targets as well. It appears to be related to the judicial system,” Kaul said.Police officers were called to Roemer's house after receiving reports of two gunshots. Officials have not revealed who made the call.
Investigators do not believe McConnell, Whitmer, or Evers are at risk, but an investigation from the FBI and the Wisconsin Criminal Investigation division will continue, according to Kaul.
