A shocking shooting incident believed to be politically motivated has occurred in Minnesota, USA. On the 14th, Governor Tim Walz announced with disbelief that Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were the victims of a deliberate attack, resulting in their deaths. Additionally, State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Ivette were shot multiple times and have been hospitalized; they are reportedly stable after surgery.

Governor Walz characterized this horrific incident as a politically motivated assassination, expressing profound sorrow over the loss of a great leader in Minnesota and a close friend.

The police received reports of the attack around 2 AM, stating that John Hoffman and his wife Ivette had been shot. Approximately an hour and a half later, another report was received regarding Melissa Hortman, where police discovered she and her husband had tragically succumbed to their injuries. Investigations indicate that the suspect may have impersonated a police officer and fled after exchanging gunfire with arriving law enforcement.

Currently, police are working closely with the FBI in a large-scale manhunt for the suspect. The Governor emphasized the targeted nature of this political violence, condemning the act and calling for peaceful dialogue to resolve differences in political opinions.

The White House also responded quickly, with President Trump stating through a spokesperson that he had been briefed on the horrific shooting incident in Minnesota, which was clearly a deliberate attack against the state legislators. The Attorney General and the FBI have begun investigations and will legally pursue all individuals involved. Such horrifying violence cannot be tolerated in America.
