There isn’t a lot of information yet, but here’s what I have.
Sources have told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS’ Tom Hauser that two Minnesota Lawmakers have been shot.
Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.
A manhunt is currently underway in Brooklyn Park for a man pretending to be a police officer.
The suspect, according to the alert, is a white man with brown hair wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants. Authorities are asking residents not to approach the suspect if spotted.

They are both Democrats, and Representative Hortman had just voted across party lines to strip illegals out of the Minnesota healthcare system.
Is that a motive or any part of this ghastly event? Too soon to say.
Updating as I hear more on how everyone is doing.
Pray for their health and that they find this maniac STAT.
MORE: News coming in that spouses were also hit. Dear God, this is horrible.
