Shooting in Minnesota
On Saturday, June 14, Democratic lawmakers from Minnesota, Senator John Hoffman and Deputy Melissa Hortman, like their husbands, were shot by someone who pretends to be a police officer.
Sanhunt is going on to locate the suspect who used the police “badge and uniform” to manipulate the paths to lawmakers’ homes. He even drove a car that looked like a “police vehicle” and was equipped with emergency lights, the BBC reported.
The incident occurred in Champlin and Brooklyn, who sent shock waves throughout the city, informed Fox 9. Several eyewitnesses told us that Hoffman and his wife were shot about five times.
The inhabitants in the region recommended that they do not approach the attacker, because the person could be armed and dangerous, and instead were asked to dial 911.
“A suspicious armed, dangerous”
According to Fox 9, the police said the suspect was “armed and dangerous”. Officers described the suspect as a white man with brown hair on each other black tingling of the body through a blue shirt and blue pants.
Police also warned that they could pretend to be enforced, Fox 9 said.
According to AFP Drew Evans, a superintendent office for criminal concerns in Minnesota, he said that the suspect shooter managed to flee in the middle of the shooting exchange with officers near Melissy Hortman.
