BREAKING: Militia member believed to have shot and killed a former judge in Juneau County; sources say suspect hit list included Governor Evers

MAUSTON- An apparent politically motivated hit carried out at the home of a former Judge in Juneau County.

Dozens of law enforcement vehicles descended on the home of former Juneau County Judge John Roemer this morning after a shooting was reported.

A source close to the investigation tells WTMJ’s John Mercure the 56-year-old suspect was part of a militia and he had with him a hit list that included the names of several elected officials including Governor Tony Evers.

When asked if they were notified of the apparent threat, the Governor’s Office said they do not comment on specific threats or the governor’s security detail.
