Following the tragic shooting of two Democratic legislators in Minnesota, police discovered writings in a fake police car used by the suspect that mentioned the names of multiple lawmakers and officials.

Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley confirmed that the recovered writings identified various lawmakers and officials. The suspect's vehicle was searched, revealing the incriminating writings.

Melissa Hortman, a former Minnesota House Speaker, and her spouse were fatally shot in their Brooklyn Park home. Another state lawmaker, Sen. John Hoffman, and his wife were also shot multiple times in Champlin. Both victims were mentioned in the suspect's writings.

Authorities are actively searching for the suspect, with hundreds of law enforcement officers deployed in the region. Governor Tim Walz condemned the violence, emphasizing the need to stand against political violence and hold the perpetrators accountable.

Senator Hoffman, a Democrat, has been serving since 2012 and represents a district north of Minneapolis. Hortman, a respected Democratic leader, was first elected in 2004 and leaves behind two children.

Police Chief Bruley revealed that the suspect, dressed as a law enforcement officer, fled the scene after exchanging gunfire with the police. President Donald Trump announced FBI involvement in the investigation, vowing to prosecute those responsible to the fullest extent of the law.

Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth denounced the attack as 'evil' and called for prayers for the victims and law enforcement personnel. The incident underscores the rising political tensions and threats faced by leaders across the country.

Former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a gun violence prevention advocate, condemned the attack as a threat to American democracy. Giffords, a shooting survivor herself, emphasized the importance of denouncing violent extremism in the country.
