Surveillance Footage Shows Man Allegedly Trying to Break Into Lawmaker’s House

Reports from Wisconsin indicate that State Representative Priscilla Prado experienced an unsettling security incident at her residence late Monday night. According to the Wisconsin State Capitol Police, surveillance footage captured a shirtless man allegedly attempting to enter the lawmaker’s home.

The suspect, described by authorities as a white male in his late 40s to early 50s, approximately 6 feet tall and 200 pounds with shoulder-length blond hair, was seen on Prado’s doorbell camera. Officials report that while the individual did not gain entry to the residence, he was observed walking around the property for an unspecified period.

Just last month, targeted attacks occurred in Minnesota, where lawmakers Melissa Hortman, John Hoffman, and their spouses were shot in their homes. This raises important questions about the safety of public officials.

Representative Prado, a Democrat from Milwaukee, released a statement Tuesday afternoon, saying, “This has been a deeply unsettling experience, and I appreciate the influx of concern.” She has requested privacy as the investigation continues.

The Wisconsin State Capitol Police emphasize that this is an ongoing investigation. They are currently working to determine whether Representative Prado was specifically targeted. The evidence suggests a need for heightened security measures for public officials, but the full implications remain to be seen.
