Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were wounded in politically motivated shootings early Saturday, Gov. Tim Walz said. Authorities have also identified a suspect who is still at large.

Minnesota state Sen. John Hoffman lived in West Des Moines for nearly a decade and is credited with forming an active Democratic Party there.

The suspect, identified by authorities as Vance Luther Boelter, posed as a law enforcement officer to gain access to the victims' homes.

MINNESOTA (TNND) — The man suspected of killing a Minnesota Democratic lawmaker and wounding another will face "an array of federal charges" after he "stalked his victims like prey" and "shot them in cold blood," according to acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson.

The man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers, killing one of them, has been taken into custody, a law enforcement official said.

The Republican and Democratic leaders of the Washington House and Senate released a joint statement Sunday condemning political violence following the assassination and attempted assassination of two Minnesota legislators.
