We're just getting tentative information now
Sounds like DFL (Democrat) house leader Melissa Hortman was assassinated or attempted in the past hour in Minnesota, possibly another state senator shot too
Brooklyn center is on shelter in place order, police helicopters are out, Hortman is reportedly in surgery right now
A gunman targeted democrats at their homes, one shooting in Brooklyn Park, one in Champlin, at least two people shot, suspect is a white male in body armor impersonating a police officer, and still on the loose
No news outlets reporting it yet, but people's phones are getting the alerts
>Per initial EMS dispatches, one of the gunshot victims was losing "copious amounts" of blood while being transported to the hospital and, as of now, we don't have any updates on the their conditions or identities.
>Two people were reportedly shot at the Champlin residence. Initial radio dispatches say one of the victims is a female with three gunshot wounds: two to the abdomen and one to the arm. The second victim was said to be an older male with two gunshot wounds to the chest, one to the abdomen and one to the elbow.
>Within hours of the Champlin shooting, officers were called to a second shooting believed to have been targeted at the home of a state representative in Brooklyn Park, near the Edinburgh Golf Course. First responders said the victim, a man in his 50s, suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his back and went into cardiac arrest while being transported to the hospital, according to EMS radio dispatches
Pretty good chance at least 2 democratic lawmakers including the house leader were just assassinated then, those wounds sound likely
This'll be national news in a few hours
