“The Minnesota twins are horrified and the heart bridge of the murder of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark and it tried the killing of senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette,” states Twins’ statement. “Our deepest sympathy for the Hortman family, and our prayers are with the Hoffman family for a full recovery. We stand with all Minnesotans to condemn these meaningless acts of violence.”
Before their games against Los Angeles Sparks, Lynx held a moment of silence.
“(The game) seems pretty meaningless, definitely hitting this close to the home,” Lynx Head coach Cheryl Reeve said before their games via ESPN. “Today is a tough day all around. Basketball is what we do. We go out there and do what we do. But God knows what when our game is over, God knows what we will get off the field and learn what happens. It’s sick.”
A shelter-on-plate order has been issued within a 3-mile radius from Edinburgh Golf Course.
The suspect had black body armor, a badge, a taser and did not seem to be distinguished from genuine law enforcement, police say. He also ran an SUV in police style with flashing lights.

“Our state lost a great leader,” said statesman Tim Walz at a news briefing on Saturday morning, describing the incident as an “unspeakable tragedy.” Speaker Hortman was one who served the people of Minnesota with grace, compassion, humor and a sense of service. She was a formidable public employee, a fixture and a giant in Minnesota. She woke up every day determined to make this state a better place. She is irreplaceable and will be missed by so many minnesotans. ”
Walz was “gently optimistic” about Hoffman and his wife survived. Both were shot several times.
“This was an act of targeted political violence,” Walz said. “Peaceful discourse is the basis of our democracy. We do not settle their differences of violence or with gun in the state of Minnesota.”
