In the early hours of the 14th, a person armed with a gun broke into the home of Melissa Hortman, a Democratic member of the Minnesota State House of Representatives in the Midwest. Hortman and her husband were shot and killed.
The criminal left behind a statement in the car at the scene, which reportedly included a list of nearly 70 people to be killed, including other lawmakers.
About an hour and a half before that, the home of a Democratic state senator, located several miles away, was also attacked, and the senator and their spouse were shot and injured.
