They shot Hortman's dog too. Bastards.
It did say they were impersonating a police officer.
Guess they really wanted to play up the part.
“Authorities are also telling people in the area not to answer their door for a police officer unless it's two officers together, or call 911 to confirm the identity of the officer at your door. FOX 9 confirmed two state lawmakers and their spouses were shot overnight.” www.fox9.com/news/brookly...
“Brooklyn Park police searching for suspect in ‘multiple targeted shootings’ Gov. Tim Walz said there were targeted shootings in both Brooklyn Park and Champlin on Saturday.” www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par...
“According to KMSP-TV, the lawmakers were shot by two men dressed like police officers and driving a car that looked like a police car. One of the suspects was taken into custody in Brooklyn Park after an officer-involved shooting. The second suspect is still at large.” bnonews.com/index.php/20...
Folks are pointing out that the new reports are changing fast—all quotes I posted were in the news story linked to that skeet at the time I posted, fyi.

Oh God!
@mprnews.org has reports calling her the most influential and effective speaker in MN history
Are we sure they were not actual cops?
No, and it's likely the general populace won't ever be sure; if the shooters were cops the police WILL do everything in their power to suppress that information. Not trying to conspiracy theory but 'dressed like cops' is a non-bias reporting ass-cover tactic like 'injured by gunfire'.
This is such a dumb comment. As soon as his name comes out, everyone will know if he’s a cop or not.
😕
The DEMOCRATIC lawmakers…
Does anyone know if they survived? I keep seeing articles that don’t say
Melissa Hortman and her husband are deceased. John Hoffman and his wife are out of surgery and they are cautiously hopeful they will pull through.
Beyond awful
This is MAGA America, Democrats are the target.
I'm highly suspecting Proud Boys on this.
That’s a terrible headline
was that quote from that article originally? not asking to be pedantic, the details in these articles often change silently in early hours and it strikes me as extremely important to nail down what all was said before any official narrative coalesces
The quote was in the article at the time I posted the skeet—I do not know exactly when it was added. This exact quote was not in the very earliest article posted by BNO at the top of my thread.
I’m looking at the article again now and it looks like they removed that paragraph? Wish I had gotten screenshots.
cannot count the number of times i've seen this in action, it's understandably very common (though still not always explicable) at mass shooting sites where the sheer chaos & echoes etc can give the illusion of multiple shooters but turning one assassin "cop" into two is harder to explain away
Yes. From what I read, early reports said it was one suspect being sought. Then they said two suspects. Now they seem to be revising that back to one, apparently?
even aside from other implications, it's a crucial detail when authorities are now telling people to only answer the door if it's two officers together
It’s why we MUST march!
MN police right now...

Trump's America, folks.
Star Tribune finally has something www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par...
@governorwalz.mn.gov He’s not just on X
Rep Hortman and her husband have died. No word yet on Hoffman and his wife.
Rep Hortman and her husband have died.

A white male dressed as a cop. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Oh my God!!!
Local and state police should be ordered to escort ICE from their communities. Governors should order National Guard to assist. They can return when they have identification and warrants, otherwise known as "documented". This is for the safety of citizens and ICE officers.
Already incidents of people impersonating ICE. Now nationally covered political tragedy. ICE, hated arm of DHS? Or evil person impersonating ICE? Hard to tell with no identification, documentation. This is the match setting the fire.
