A manhunt continues on Sunday after a gunman impersonated a police officer early Saturday morning and killed Minnesota Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in what was called a “politically motivated assassination.”
The suspect, who authorities identified as 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter, also allegedly shot Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in a separate attack Saturday morning. The couple is in stable condition as of Sunday morning.
Minnesota is reeling after the attacks, and lawmakers and the public are on edge as the gunman remains at-large.
Authorities said the suspect was carrying a list of other potential targets, including a number of officials and lawmakers.
“Right now, everyone [is] on edge here, because we know that this man will kill at a second,” Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
