Minnesota Lawmakers Shot in Apparent Right-Wing Attack
State Senator John Hoffman and State Representative Melissa Hortman were shot in their respective homes in Champlin and Brooklyn Park by a suspect impersonating a police officer. A manhunt is underway for the suspect, described as a white male in black body armor. The extent of the lawmakers’ injuries and whether additional victims exist remains unknown. Governor Walz has activated the State Emergency Operations Center to provide full support to local law enforcement. This is a developing situation.
