Minnesota Senator was shot and killed, and another person was injured in the attack.
A Minnesota representative and her husband were killed, while the state senator and his wife were injured in a “politically motivated assassination.”
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has vowed that target shootings by two Minnesota Senators “will not be tolerated in the United States,” and that shooters who engage in the brave attack will be charged to the fullest extent of the law.
Trump said Minnesota Gov. Tim Waltz has been described as what Minnesota Gov. Tim Waltz called Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman “a politically motivated assassination.”
Minnesota Sen. Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot dead and wounded in what law enforcement officials called “targeted acts of political violence.” Both lawmakers were members of the Farmera Ball Party of the Minnesota Democrat.
In a June 14 post on social media app Truth Social, Trump said Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were investigating the situation.
“This kind of horrifying violence is not tolerated in the United States. God blesses the great people of Minnesota. It’s a truly wonderful place!” Trump said.
According to the state’s legislative profile page, Hortman, 55, and her husband have two children.
Authorities continue to search for Minnesota assailants who say police are impersonating police officers. “Operate” the home after knocking on the victim’s door in the same SUV as the actual police vehicle, vest, costume, and ither equipment. The suspect has been identified as a white man.
Trump is in Washington, where he attends a military parade to mark the 250th anniversary of the US military. The event will also be on Trump’s 79th birthday.
