What gets me is they had a shoot out with the perp, he went back inside the house and managed to get away....WTF?

Not what I'm hearing....I have Fox 9 on now.

They're saying that there was a welfare check where the perp was encountered from a distance, but no shots exchanged.

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.

Minneapolis is a dangerous place, these kinds of thing happen.

It would be awfully ironic if the perps turn out to be Illegal Aliens let into the country by the Democrats.

It was early on that there was a claimed suspect in hand but that info was not included in the presser so it's suspect.....As is so much early info during shootings involving multiple locations and the same perp.
 
Dupe
