US Democratic Lawmaker, Husband Killed In ‘Politically Motivated Assassination’
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
SAINT PAUL, USA (Worthy News) – The governor of the U.S. State of Minnesota says a gunman posing as a police officer has killed a senior Democratic Minnesota lawmaker and her husband on Saturday in an apparent “politically motivated assassination.
Governor Tim Walz said those killed Saturday were Democratic state assemblywoman Melissa Hortman, a former assembly speaker, and her husband, Mark.
A major search was underway for the suspect, who fled on foot after firing at police, abandoning a vehicle in which officers found a “manifesto” listing other legislators and officials, law enforcement officials told a news conference.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he had been briefed on the “terrible shooting that took place in Minnesota, which appears to be a targeted attack against State Lawmakers.”
“Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America. God Bless the great people of Minnesota, a truly great place!” he stressed in a statement.
“I am heartbroken and horrified by the tragic loss of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, who were taken from us in an act of violence,” said Amy Klobuchar, the U.S. Senator from Minnesota, in a reaction.
“Melissa was a good friend, and we started in politics at the same time and were always there for each other,” she added.
“She was a true public servant to the core, dedicating her life to serving,” Klobuchar recalled on the social media platform X.
“Minnesotans with integrity and compassion. Melissa’s legacy will endure, but today we grieve deeply. John’s and my prayers are with their children, their loved ones, and all who are mourning this devastating loss.”
