A New Hampshire man was arrested last week and charged with threatening to kill a U.S. senator, federal prosecutors said.
Brian Landry, a 66-year-old from Franklin, New Hampshire, allegedly left a threatening voicemail at the senator’s district office on May 17, which was referred to U.S. Capitol Police, investigators said in an affidavit along with Landry’s criminal complaint.
“Hey stupid I’m a veteran sniper. And unless you change your ways, I got my scope pointed in your direction and I’m coming to get you. You’re a dead man walking you piece of f—— s—,” Landry is accused of saying, according to the affidavit.
Prosecutors did not identify the senator whom Landry allegedly targeted beyond stating that the lawmaker took office on Jan. 3, 2021.
When questioned by authorities after being identified through phone records, Landry said he was “extremely angry with certain politicians over their handling of important entitlement programs for veterans,” the affidavit states.
