Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed early Saturday morning in 'what appears to be a politically motivated assassination,' Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said at a news conference.
Minnesota State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were also targeted by the same individual and each shot multiple times, Walz said. They have undergone surgery and are alive.
