Two Minnesota lawmakers were shot on Saturday, with one dying and the other recovering, in the latest instance of political violence recently. The shooting comes nearly a year after an assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Pennsylvania and follows politically motivated violence that has also targeted top companies.
Authorities are on the second day of the hunt for a man suspected of killing Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband at their house. The suspect also is believed to have shot State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife in their home.
Threats and violent acts have become part of the political landscape, still shocking but somehow not so surprising.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension reports that Boelter was last seen on Saturday morning in Minneapolis, after the shootings, wearing a light-colored cowboy hat, a dark long-sleeve shirt, and light pants while carrying a dark cross-body bag.
