Two Minnesota lawmakers were shot by a suspect impersonating a police officer.

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband are two of the people shot and both have passed away. Tim Walz calls this a "politically motivated assassination."

State Sen. John Hoffman and wife were also shot. They were taken to a hospital, had surgery, and there's a chance both might survive.

Police are searching in the Brooklyn Park area of Minnesota for the shooter.

The news report on KSTP further stated:

Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans said police first responded to the shooting at the Hoffman residence in Champlin around 2 a.m. At 3:35 a.m., a call came in of a similar attack at Hortman’s home in Brooklyn Park. Brooklyn Park police were “proactively checking” on Hortman’s home due to her close proximity to Hoffman. Evans said those officers encountered the suspect, who fired at them. Police returned fire, but the gunman got away.
