“The Hoffmans are out of surgery at this time and receiving care, and we are cautiously optimistic that they will survive this assassination attempt,” the Minnesota governor stated. “This was an act of targeted political violence. Peaceful discourse is the foundation of our democracy. We don’t settle our differences with violence or at gunpoint.”
The Minnesota Star-Tribune reported that police have recovered an alleged manifesto and said, “There was a list of individuals and the individuals that were targeted were on that list.”
Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, Police Chief Mark Bruley said, “When we did a search of the vehicle there was a manifesto that identified many lawmakers and other officials, we immediately made alerts to the state, who took action on alerting them and providing security where necessary.”
“This was not a real police officer; this was a person who was clearly impersonating a police officer wearing the trust of this badge to manipulate their way into the home,” the chief added.
A manhunt is underway for the alleged attacker. Police say the suspect is armed and dangerous.
The Star-Tribune reported that police are asking people to avoid the planned statewide “No Kings protests. “Given the targeted shootings of state lawmakers overnight, we are asking the public to not attend today’s planned demonstrations across Minnesota out of an abundance of caution,” the Minnesota State Patrol official stated.
