Kahta pariskuntaa siis ammuttiin kotonaan, Hoffmanneja (mies on senaattori), ja Hortmanneja (nainen edustajanhuoneen demokraattien johtaja). Hoffmannit selvisivät, Hortmannit kuolivat. Tarkennetaan että nämä ovat siis Minnesotan edustajainhuoneen jäseniä, ei liittovaltion kongressin.

Law enforcement was first called around 2:00 a.m. local time on Saturday with reports that someone had shot Hoffman and his wife. Police responded to their home and provided life-saving measures before the couple was transported to the hospital, according to Drew Evans, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension superintendent.
Around 3:35 a.m., another call came in when officers were proactively checking on Hortman’s home. When Brooklyn Park police officers arrived they noticed that there was a police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights on and what appeared to be a police officer at the door, coming out of the house, officials said. That individual immediately fired a weapon at them, Evans said. The suspect was able to escape during the gunfire exchange.
The Brooklyn Park Police Department issued a shelter-in-place order in a 3-mile radius of Edinburgh Golf Course Saturday morning, according to the City of Brooklyn Park.
The suspect, Boelter, is 57 years old and, according to a law enforcement official, he works for a security company, Praetorian Guard Security. The company website says that Boelter serves as the director of security patrols and has had training by people in the US Military.
Flyers reading “No Kings” have been found inside the shooting suspect’s car, according to a photo posted by the Minnesota State Patrol. Officials also found a “manifesto” identifying “many lawmakers and other officials” in the vehicle, according to police.
“No Kings” organizers announced that protests across Minnesota were canceled after the shooting incident.
