Not sure where to put this, but two prominent Minnesotan Democrats have been shot.
"Minnesota mayor Ryan Sabas of Champlin said state senator John Hoffman and state representative Melissa Hortman were shot, and that Mr Hoffman’s wife was also shot.
A person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press that investigators believe that the suspect may have been posing as a law enforcement officer.
Ms Hortman is the top House Democratic leader in the state legislature and a former house speaker."
edit: Sad to say that Melissa Hortman and her husband are now dead. Walz also says that the murder was politically motivated:
Hortman was the only Democrat in the Minnesota House to vote to repeal health care for undocumented residents, something that just happened like a week ago. Hoffman voted against the repeal.
Not saying that had anything to do with it, I’m just looking for anything about them that stands out.
My daughter and family live in an adjacent town. They are under shelter-in-place and told not to open the door unless there are TWO police with credentials.
So they must have intel that it’s an individual.
Also the woman rep was the only dem vote joining republicans to remove “illegals” from the state medicaid program.
Don’t know about the man senator.
My pony has no idea if that is connected or it’s some deranged Trumper.
Also Hortman and husband are dead according to my nephew.
Democratic House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed Saturday morning at their home in Brooklyn Park in what Gov. Tim Walz called a “politically motivated assassination.”
My true crime brain is tingling. Wouldn’t be the first time some relationship went awry and someone tried to cover it up with a different murder/set of murders.
I am not claiming it’s some affair partner I’m just saying I watch a lot of true crime and it happens.
Cops apparently thought it was a cop in a cop car with lights on. It’s not GTA and no one stole a cop car and cops aren’t going to be fooled by a security guard. Probably going to be a cop.
