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.

German names, likely Catholic.
Apparently in their homes. They answered the knock from the police. Shot in their separate homes, located 8 miles apart.
Was the perp wearing a shirt that said, “I kill fascists”?
Tim Walz led off the press conference. Melissa Hortman was shot fatally. John Hoffman and his wife were both shot multiple times and are in surgery. The perpetrator exchanged gunfire with officers at or near Hortman’s home, but he escaped. It sounds like law enforcement officers believe they know the identity of the murderer.
Police officers checked proactively on Hortman’s home after the Hoffman shooting. They arrived just as the perpetrator was leaving the front door of the Hortman home. The murderer immediately started shooting at the officers and fled back into the house. He escaped on foot. The officers found bodies of both Melissa Hortman and, I assume, her husband.
The perpetrator drove a car that looked like an unmarked squad car (lights, etc.) and was dressed like a police officer, including a taser and a badge. He escaped on foot and presumably hasn’t gotten very far. A massive manhunt is now underway. The perpetrator left a “manifesto” in his vehicle. It indicated that more victims were to be targeted.

People being shot and killed is good news?
News conference just ended. The person who impersonated a LEO had a police vehicle in which they found a manifesto with names of additional legislators. He is on the loose, armed and dangerous. Residents told to shelter in place, do not answer your door if a single police officer is there; police will be paired.
“Democrats love division ... “
One of the few things they offer is chaos — protests, riots, looting, etc.
There was nothing reasonable about Marv, he was completely insane. Very few people have heard his hours of loony tapes about how God was directing him to kill his “enemies” who were insisting he stop sending his poop into the water supply. But I’ve listened to Marv’s tapes so I know the truth.
[Could this be the reason why Democrats always vote in unison?]
“Party discipline” is more than just leather boots and a riding crop.
Thanks.
Speculation is that he may be hiding in another home that he entered under false pretenses and is holding hostages. Obviously he wouldn’t hesitate to kill again.
Latest report:
“Melissa Hortman and her husband were both killed in the attacks at their home. John Hoffman and his wife were gravely injured.”
So sorry to hear this.
Has Trump been blamed by the media yet?
He will be - well before the real story gets out as to who did the shooting - then the story will disappear.
It has been confirmed that DFL House Leader Melissa Hortman and her husband have passed away after being targeted at their home.
some don’t, I do wholeheartedly...
i mean, i want Trump to send in fully armed army into the group of rioters, shoot to kill. and that’s pretty choatic and violent isn’t it?
i certainly wouldn’t advocate going into a politician’s house and shoot them... someone else more unhinged will do it eventually.
No, they will not. Maybe they contracted a cartel hit. Or maybe the cartels want to send a message.
How about two corpses?
She died.
My mother's maiden name is Hoffman. She was Catholic.
