Because of a protection-from-abuse order filed by Brandt, Wert was prohibited from possessing firearms, and he provided firearms to the Cumberland County Sheriff Department in June, according to the affidavit. However, police searched his home on July 23 and found a 12-gauge shotgun and two .22-caliber handguns.

Wert was charged with possession of firearm prohibited and obstructing administration of law or other governmental functions, according to court documents.

As of Monday morning, he has not been charged in Brandt’s death.

Ebert said Monday afternoon that Wert is a suspect, but he is not prepared to file a criminal complaint, and Wert is presumed innocent. He declined to comment on whether there is a connection between Brandt’s death and Wert’s self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police have said Brandt was targeted, and the shooting was not a random act.

Contentious divorce

Court documents show that Brandt and Wert were in the midst of lengthy divorce proceedings that began when Brandt filed for divorce in May 2016.
