A man from Franklin, New Hampshire has been charged with threatening to kill a U.S. Senator, according to authorities.
66-year-old Brian Landry is accused of threatening to assault, kidnap or murder a United States official in connection with the official’s performance of official duties.
According to court documents, a threatening message was sent on a voicemail from a number associated with Landry.
The message said “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 [expletives].”, according to the documents.

Landry is scheduled to appear in federal court.
