BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. (FOX 9) - A shelter-in-place alert was sent out at 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning by the Brooklyn Park Police Department after multiple shootings. A suspect in the shooting may be impersonating law enforcement and should not be approached.

Authorities are also telling people in the area not to answer their door for a police officer unless it's two officers together, or call 911 to confirm the identity of the officer at your door.

FOX 9 confirmed that two state lawmakers and their spouses were shot overnight.






Sounds like both are Ds that just voted with Rs to deny illegals free healthcare.....Targeted because they aren't leftist enough?

Hortmann has been in a leadership role with the Democrats for a while. Many leftists were EXTREMELY pissed at the Democrats who voted with Republicans to pass repeal of free Healthcare for illegals. Let that sink in. Free Healthcare for illegals.

MN at the state Legislature is a near exactly 50/50 split. House is an exact tie, with Republicans holding the "speakership" position, and Democrats have a one seat advantage in the Senate, and one of those Senators should have been kicked for felony burglary charges but her trial was delayed until after session starting on Monday now.

I wonder if a Clinton operative is involved.

 

[leftwinger]

Shame.

Sources tell FOX 9 there may have been two suspects involved in the shootings and one suspect is in custody after an officer-involved shooting in Brooklyn Park

 

[Blaster]

Both of these people are in grave condition. I wonder what the motive was behind these shootings.

They went against the Dim Party, so they need to be shot. File under "peaceful protest."

Both appear to have been targeted.

They voted to end free health care for illegals. That will get you shot in the Dim Party.

Walz just announced that Hortman is dead.

Evidently the shooter was impersonating a cop. Both shootings were early in the morning at the victims' homes. The victims are/were both Democrats.

Is this a beginning of some kind, or a single act based on something specific? I guess we'll find out.

Two Minnesota lawmakers were shot in their homes in a targeted attack, officials say

CHAMPLIN, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota mayor says two state lawmakers were shot in their homes early Saturday.

Mayor Ryan Sabas of Champlin said state senator John Hoffman and state representative Melissa Hortman were shot, and that 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. The person said investigators were still working to establish motive for the attacks and were still in the early stages of an investigation.

Gov. Tim Walz said the shooting was targeted.

Hoffman, a Democrat, was first elected in 2012. He runs Hoffman Strategic Advisors, a consulting firm. He previously served as vice chair of the Anoka Hennepin School Board, which manages the largest school district in Minnesota.

Hoffman is married and has one daughter. Hortman is the top House Democratic leader in the state Legislature and a former House speaker.

There must be something more to this.

A random attack by someone impersonating a cop?

Hmmm
