Democratic Sen. John Hoffman, his wife, and House Democratic leader Melissa Hortman were injured in what the governor describes as targeted shootings.

A police manhunt is underway in Minnesota after two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses were shot overnight in a "politically motivated assassination," Gov. Tim Walz told reporters Saturday.

Minnesota Democrat Representative Melissa Hortman has died after being shot in her home, Governor Tim Walz said during a press conference Saturday. Hortman was the Minnesota Speaker Emerita and House DFL Caucus Leader. Her husband was also killed, Walz said.
