Police have recovered writings that mentioned the names of multiple lawmakers and other officials in the fake police car they believe a suspect used in the shooting of two legislators in Minnesota.
Melissa Hortman, a former Minnesota House speaker, and her spouse were killed in their Brooklyn Park home. A second state lawmaker, Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, were shot multiple times in Champlin.
Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley said that the writings that were recovered identified many lawmakers and other officials. The writings were discovered when officers searched a phony police car they believe the suspect used.
Officials say both Hortman and Hoffman were mentioned in the suspect’s writings.
Gov. Tim Walz described the shootings as “targeted political violence.”
