Updated: Minnesota Senator John Hoffman (D) and State Rep. Melissa Hortman (D) have been shot at their homes. Condition unknown
-------
At least 3 people have been shot at the homes of Democratic lawmakers in Brooklyn Park and Champlin in Minnesota, prompting a shelter-in-place in the area, according to law enforcement sources. The suspect is dressed like a police officer and is still at large.
The first shooting happened just after 2 a.m. on Saturday at the Champlin home of State Senator John Hoffman, a Democrat who has served in the Minnesota Senate since 2013. Two people – a man and a woman – suffered multiple gunshot wounds but their identities have not been confirmed.
A second shooting happened at a home a few miles south, near the Edinburgh Golf Course in Brooklyn Park. It’s the home of another Democratic lawmaker, believed to be a state representative who we are not yet naming. One person was shot multiple times.
Brooklyn Park and Champlin are both north of Minneapolis.

“Police are looking for a suspect in multiple targeted shootings who is armed and dangerous,” Brooklyn Park Police said in an emergency alert sent to residents at 5:30 a.m. “Suspect is white male, brown hair, wearing black body armor over blue shirt and blue pants and may misrepresent himself as law enforcement.”
A second emergency alert sent at 7 a.m. confirmed that the suspect is dressed like a police officer. “Do not approach and do not answer door unless two officers approach together. Call 911 to verify officer identity first,” it said.
A shelter in place order has been issued for people in a 3 mile radius of Edinburgh Golf Course in Brooklyn Park. Anyone who sees the suspect is urged to call 911 immediately. He’s armed and should not be approached.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Trump supporters do NOT support violence or chaos.
Royce White just said that these were lawmakers who seemed to be favoring taking benefits away from illegal immigrants. It will be blamed on Republicans though.
I wonder if the Democrats will CELEBRATE these shootings as they did for the killing of the insurance executive last year.
It will be blamed on conservatives of course.
Domestic issue? Personal vendetta? Who knows.
Tiny Timmy Tampon the Tampon Man need to bring his VP campaign to an end (The election ended 7 months ago.) and get back to Minnesota and start doing his governor job of refilling the tampon machines in the boys rooms.
An affair?
Or just a pissed-off citizen?
Yes very interesting that two were shoot in different locations. Something is going on.
This is possibly a black op to smear Trump supporter, possibly by someone contracted by the CIA, which is not really under control, or by some NGO like the ADL. Another possibility is that the shooting was done by some deranged right winger, perhaps a Dylan Roof type.
Graduation season is over. Maybe he’ll go home.
Bring all the police in for questioning.
State Rep. Melissa Hortman (D)
Political violence ?
Sounds almost like Clint Eastwoods “Magnum Force”.
” which is not really under control”
And has never been.
If these are lawmakers who support cutting off aid to illegals this is most likely to be associated with “NO Kungs”.
They build killdozers:
Democrats and violence yet again.
I'm sure that this makes Minnesotans feel much better.
Tampon Tim will know just what to do.
