Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.

A manhunt is currently underway in Brooklyn Park for a man pretending to be a police officer.

Suspect is a white male with brown hair dressed like a police officer with body armor on.

As of right now there is no news on both lawmakers current condition and if they are ok.

I hope the asshole gets 20 pounds of lead poisoning.

I bet when they find the shooter, he will start a GoFund Me and make millions.
I blame the media for manipulating people into thinking trying to kill someone from the other political party is an acceptable choice. Of course the media will blame it on the shooter being mentally ill and not their rhetoric.

Horrifying. If the shooter disguised themselves and killed two lawmakers it sounds like a targeted assassination that they put a lot of thought and effort into. Very troubling times.

Lack of news on their condition has me worried. Both lawmakers were in the Democratic party so it definitely seems targeted and politically motivated.

Both are Democrats. The Minnesota legislature currently has a one Democrat advantage. Seems too coincidental.

Oh I assumed they died, hope they pull through.

Politically motivated shooting is the obvious thing to assume but still early in the story so for all we know could be a personal vendetta of some kind.

So only democrats are targeted?

Fuck anyone that goes after people like this because they disagree with them and especially people in the media and politics that encourage this type of thing.

I am assuming right now they are alive, but there isn't any news.

I've seen online people point out that neither one have contributions from AIPAC. Not sure how easy it is to verify that. It was another angle I considered with the recent events between Israel and Iran.

So only democrats are targeted?

So far just the two democrat lawmakers. Shooter is on the run. Hopefully gets caught before he goes after anyone else.

Senator Hoffman and his wife expected to survive. Not sure how valid this source is, though. Having a hard time getting concrete information.

You're gonna see a lot more of this and it's just going to keep increasing. That guy that shot the CEO opened up the floodgates.

Walz just confirmed Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed

 

[Seano]

Sure is something to see everyone act horrified by this with all the hateful rhetoric on this forum.

>Shooter was driving SUV vehicle with police lights on it and wearing a full uniform with badge
