Early Saturday brought shock and sorrow as two Minnesota state lawmakers became targets in separate, premeditated home attacks. In Brooklyn Park—just outside Minneapolis—Democrat Melissa Hortman and her husband lost their lives in a devastating incident.
Not far away, about 15 km from Brooklyn Park, another Democrat lawmaker, John Hoffman, and his wife were shot multiple times in what appears to be a related attack. The community is reeling from these tragic events, and authorities are working hard to unravel the details.
For many of us, news like this is a stark reminder that violence can strike unexpectedly. Our hearts go out to the families affected by these senseless acts. Let's stand in solidarity and keep hope alive as investigations continue. 💔😢
