Sure, I can guess, but how about we wait until we have all the facts before making accusations?

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.

Targeted hits on the opposition. The governor needs to be under 24 hour protection.

Oh, what the Progressives have wrought. You Progs have a coalition of groups with many hating each other. The binder for you is that you hate the other side worse. When the time comes for an example. the Islamic faction will exterminate the Gay faction. Or vice a versa. It will happen though.

CNN has already deemed this a "politically motivated attack". Do they know something investigators do not?

There must be something more to this.

A random attack by someone impersonating a cop?

Hmmm

You don't randomly impersonate a cop.

How horrible.

That's my point. This sounds, at least on the limited information declared as a professional hit.

Timmy Walz? Attempting to stir up sympathy votes.

I don't know if the shooter was a Republican, a disgruntled Democrats, or someone with no political bent.

I do know that the Democrats have created an atmosphere in the country that encourages violence.
For that, they - and their supporters - should be held accountable.
