Loveland, Ohio – Rep. Greg Landsman (Ohio’s 1st Congressional District representing part of Loveland) reported today that his name was included in the Minnesota murder suspect’s notes.
_________
I was notified by Capitol Police that my name was included in the Minnesota murder suspect’s notes.
Update and statement.
On Sunday morning, Capitol Police contacted my office to tell me the FBI had found my name as part of evidence collected during the search for a suspect in Minnesota – who is accused of murdering and seriously injuring lawmakers.
Since the suspect was still at large at that time, we worked very closely with the Cincinnati Police Department to arrange for increased security for my family and me.
I’m extremely thankful to the Cincinnati Police Department for their quick assistance and to Capitol Police for their guidance.
We’re very relieved the suspect has been arrested.
This is an ongoing investigation, and we want to keep you informed, but we don’t have any other information to share right now.
