Apparently a guy impersonating a cop walked to their door and opened fired assassinating them, reports of a complete uniform disguised as an officer and a car as well. 
They found a list of other potential target including Walz, Ilhan Omar and Keith Ellison among others.  Though some reports of him having "no Kings" flyers in his car as well.  He,  Vance Luther Boelter, also was a Walz appointee to a State workforce board of some sort, not sure if past or present.

Though it won't matter what side of the isle the guys falls on, get ready to be punished for the act of a one off, meanwhile their crowds of minions are burning and looting, again, and they defend them like they are freedom fighters.

Latest:  https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/57-year-old-suspect-sought-in-targeted-shootings-of-minnesota-state-lawmakers/

Before the most recent redistricting, my home used to be in House District 34B, so Melissa Hortman at one time was my rep in the State House.

Apparently, the suspect is also a former state official -- appointed by both the current and previous Governors to one of the state boards.  He owned(?) some kind of professional security services company.

--- Quote ---Despite Democratic-Farmer-Labor control of the state Senate, the governor?s office, and half of the House, Republicans forced Democrats to roll back one of their signature accomplishments from the 2023 legislative session: health care for undocumented people.

The Legislature passed a bill Monday to repeal undocumented adults? eligibility for MinnesotaCare, the state-subsidized health insurance program for the working poor. DFL House caucus leader Melissa Hortman joined Republicans in the House to pass the bill. In the Senate, DFL Sens. Grant Hauschild of Hermantown, Ann Rest of New Hope, Robert Kupec of Moorhead and Majority Leader Erin Murphy of St. Paul also voted for the bill.

Not so sure the suspect would be some sort of right winger -- Hortman was the DFL House leader, but voted with republicans on a controversial budget bill on Monday.  Just shown on TV were a pile of "No Kings" flyers found in the suspects car.

Heh, ABC made no report of the flyers despite them having info of what police found in the car, NY Post mentioned the flyers, but left out any mention of the ID of other targets.  It doesn't get any more slanted than that, and why you have to browse several news sites to get the whole picture, if even then.

The info may not have been available at the time of their report. Modern news is "Get it first, not right" many times. They want the news as fast as possible but rarely care about accuracy much less following up with the correct facts. Not that they care about the facts to begin with unless they can push a narrative they like.
