Minnesota Lawmakers Targeted in Deadly Home Attacks

A targeted shooting in Minnesota claimed the lives of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, while State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were wounded but are expected to survive. The attack occurred at the lawmakers' homes, with assailants impersonating police officers and using a vehicle resembling a police cruiser. Authorities, including Governor Tim Walz, have called the act a politically motivated incident of domestic terrorism. President Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the attacks, and the FBI is now leading a multi-agency investigation. One suspect has reportedly been taken into custody while a manhunt for another continues. The tragedy has renewed national concerns over political violence and the safety of public officials.
