Minnesota state Senator John Hoffman and his wife were shot multiple times at their home by a masked gunman who later killed another state lawmaker, Melissa Hortman, and her husband. The Hoffmans were awakened by the gunman posing as a police officer. Their daughter called 911, and the gunman, Vance Boelter, fled to Hortman's home. Boelter was apprehended after a large manhunt. The shootings are considered politically motivated, with Boelter allegedly having a long list of targets. The Hoffmans are recovering from their injuries, while the Hortmans' family is mourning their loss.
