Slain Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman will be laid to rest in a private funeral service livestreamed Saturday at 10:30 a.m. CT. Hortman and her husband were fatally shot at home earlier this month, along with their dog, in what police believe was a planned attack targeting Democratic officials. Suspect Vance Boelter has been charged with murder and stalking. A public viewing was held Friday at the Minnesota Capitol. The attack is one of several recent incidents of political violence against elected officials.
