    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A man illegally brought a handgun into the Wisconsin Capitol, demanding to see Gov.

    Tony Evers, and returned at night with an assault rifle after posting bail, a spokesperson for the state said Thursday.

    The man, who was shirtless and had a holstered handgun, approached the governor’s office on the first floor of the Capitol around 2 p.m. Wednesday, state Department of Administration spokesperson Tatyana Warrick said.

    The man was taken into custody for openly carrying a firearm in the Capitol, which is against the law, Warrick said.

    Madison police reported Thursday that the man, who was not named, was taken into productive custody and taken to the hospital.

    Evers, a Democrat, was on a hit list of a gunman suspected of fatally shooting a retired county judge at his Wisconsin home in 2022.
