More info on man who shot WI judge
A retired Juneau County judge who was gunned down in his home Friday morning had sentenced his alleged killer to six years in prison for armed burglary and other weapons charges in 2005, online court records show.
Douglas K. Uhde, 56, shot and killed John Roemer, 68, after entering the judge's home in the town of Lisbon around 6:30 a.m., the state Department of Justice said in a statement Saturday.
Law enforcement tried to negotiate with Uhde before entering the residence around 10:15 a.m., the DOJ said. In the home, they found Roemer dead and zip-tied to a chair and Uhde in the basement with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Uhde was taken to the hospital and remains in critical condition, the DOJ said.
Investigators have said Uhde planned to target other government officials and found a list in his vehicle that included Roemer, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, said the official who was not authorized to discuss details of the investigation publicly.
