Two Minnesota Democrats were targeted overnight on June 14, 2025, by a gunman impersonating a police officer. State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot in Brooklyn Park, while State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were wounded at their Champlin home and are now recovering post‑surgery. The suspect, described as a white male wearing police gear, fled after exchanging fire with arriving officers. A shelter‑in‑place alert and a statewide manhunt are underway, involving local, state, and federal agencies. Governor Tim Walz and U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar condemned it as targeted political violence. The public has been urged to verify any law enforcement before opening doors. (PC: Everything GP & X)
