Note that the original slug text got her name wrong. It's Hortman, not Hoffmann (which implied, incorrectly, that they were a married couple). The shootings appear to have been at separate locations.

@mattblaze Yes, two homes, both representing District 34 (one in the House and the other in the Senate), so somewhat near each other. Hoffman and his wife are reportedly out of surgery and stable. Condition of Hortman unknown. State Department of Public Safety is expected to hold a press conference at 9:30 (Central), so we may get confirmation of the latter then. Suspect still at large.

@mattblaze Hortman and her husband confirmed dead.

@TonyYarusso Just awful

@mattblaze My mom served two terms in the House with her, and we have several friends who are current and former members of both House and Senate. This is pretty darn close to my social circle…

@TonyYarusso @mattblaze 🙏

More than you might think. Minnesota is very blue in and around the Twin Cities (also Duluth) but in the the rural areas it might as well be Idaho.

wasn’t that long ago that Trump’s folks were floating a pardon for the Whitmer kidnappers. No doubt there are more chuckleheads like them around.

Press conference just wrapped up. Shooter appeared to be in full uniform, with a squad car and lights. Fired on responding officers and fled on foot. Had a list of targets in the squad car.

@Asymmetricblue Dark black SUV, not squad car, but yes.
