Michigan lawmaker postpones town hall after Minnesota shootings
Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-Mich.) has postponed her town hall event on Monday following the weekend shootings of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota. 'West Michigan, I want nothing more than to hear from you in person during town halls and other events,' Scholten wrote in a post on the social platform X. 'However, after the events of this weekend, Team Scholten has decided to postpone our event tonight in Muskegon for the safety of everyone involved,' the post added. The town hall was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Monday. The congresswoman said to 'stay tuned' for a new date for the event, adding, 'Keep yourselves safe and well, West Michigan.' The decision was made after the lawmaker was made aware that her name was on a document tied to the suspect in the fatal Minnesota shooting, she said in a statement. Scholten said in the statement that she was canceling her town hall in Michigan 'out of an abundance of caution' and to avoid diverting law enforcement away from broader public safety efforts. Dozens of names were reportedly on the list recovered from a vehicle left at the crime scene over the weekend. The list included prominent state and federal lawmakers and community leaders, along with abortion rights advocates and information about health care facilities, officials told The Associated Press. The Hill has reached out to Scholten's office for additional information. Two Minnesota state lawmakers and their spouses were shot early Saturday morning in what public officials have described as acts of politically motivated violence. Former state Speaker Melissa Hortman (D) and her husband were shot and killed at their home in Brooklyn Park, Minn., while state Sen. John Hoffman (D) and his wife were injured after being shot multiple times at their home in Champlin, Minn., located 8 miles away. The suspect in the shooting, Vance Boelter, was taken into custody Sunday night following the largest manhunt in Minnesota's history. Authorities tracked him down in a field near his home after spotting his abandoned car and cowboy hat. He is facing numerous federal charges, including stalking, murder and shooting, prosecutors announced at a news conference Monday. Some authorities have responded to the shootings by tightening security. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) — who was friends with Hortman and said they dined together Friday night — said earlier Sunday she didn't know if her name was included on the list of targets but that her security was increased without her request.

Ohio rep included on Minnesota shooter's target list criticizes Trump's response
Rep. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio) — whose name was purportedly included on the Minnesota shooter's 'hit list' — called for President Trump to show 'moral leadership' in the wake of the shootings of the Democratic lawmakers. In an interview on CNN's 'The Arena' with Kasie Hunt, Landsman criticized the president for declining to call Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) — who faced off against Trump as former Vice President Harris's running mate in the 2024 presidential election. 'My hope is that this is a turning point, that people realize this has gone too far,' Landsman said on CNN. 'I wish the president would be like presidents in the past and call the governor and do everything in his power to make sure that folks have the resources they need, and then to provide that moral leadership that we all need in moments like this,' he continued. Walz previously worked with Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman (D) while she was in the state legislature and confirmed her death Saturday at a press conference. 'Our state lost a great leader, and I lost a dearest friend,' the governor said. Trump told reporters early Tuesday during his flight back from the Group of Seven summit that he would not be calling Walz. 'I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I'm not calling,' Trump said. 'Why would I call him?' 'The guy doesn't have a clue. He's a mess. So, you know, I could be nice and call, but why waste time?' he continued. Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed Saturday by a man allegedly impersonating a police officer. The man is also accused of shooting state Sen. John Hoffman (D) and his wife, Yvette, authorities say. They are expected to survive after surgery. Trump offered his condolences to the victims hours after the incident. 'Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America. God Bless the great people of Minnesota, a truly great place!' Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Saturday.
