Police are searching for a 57-year-old man after the killings of a state lawmaker and her husband, and the shooting of a state senator in a separate attack.

Minnesota Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman, fatally shot in a targeted attack, recently made headlines as the only House Democratic vote to repeal healthcare for illegal immigrants

A dedicated volunteer who taught Sunday school and loved dogs. A lawyer who served as a Girl Scout Leader and worked at her dad’s auto parts store. A mother and wife whose husband was killed alongside her.

Even as the national political discourse has grown hyperpartisan in recent years, Minnesota had kept a foothold on its own traditions.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey and other elected officials from the Bay State say they are “horrified” by the brazen shootings that left one Minnesota lawmaker dead and another injured.

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

A cryptic message sent to roommates is just one of many unanswered questions surrounding the suspect who remains at large.

Hortman, a Democrat, and her husband were shot at their home in Brooklyn Park, a city north of Minneapolis, on Saturday morning by a man dressed as a police officer, authorities said. Police are still searching for the suspect, named by the FBI as 57-year-old Vance Boelter, who escaped following a shootout with officers.
