The Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Lynx have offered their condolences following the fatal shootings of two Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) state officials and their spouses. The incident occurred overnight when a suspect, believed to have impersonated a police officer, shot and killed Melissa Hortman, the DFL Speaker Emerita, and her husband Mark Hortman in Brooklyn Park. In a related incident, DFL Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were also shot in Champlin by the same suspect. The suspect, described as wearing black body armor and a badge, as well as driving a police-style SUV with flashing lights, remains at large. State officials, including Governor Tim Walz, have condemned the attacks as an act of targeted political violence, calling it an ‘unspeakable tragedy.’ Walz emphasized the importance of peaceful discourse in Minnesota’s democracy, stressing that differences should be resolved through dialogue, not violence. Sports teams, including the Minnesota Vikings, have expressed their condolences and reaffirmed their commitment to unity and condemning political violence. The Minnesota Twins issued a statement expressing their horror and heartbreak over the murders, offering their deepest sympathies to the Hortman family and praying for the full recovery of the Hoffman family. The Vikings, who had a long-standing relationship with Speaker Hortman, highlighted her contributions to the state and her dedication to making Minnesota a better place. The Minnesota Lynx also held a moment of silence before their game against the Los Angeles Sparks, with head coach Cheryl Reeve acknowledging the emotional weight of the event. The suspect’s impersonation of law enforcement raises concerns about the credibility of official uniforms and the need for improved safety measures. Law enforcement is currently searching for the suspect, who has not yet been identified. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about political violence and the safety of elected officials in the state. As the investigation continues, the community and state leaders unite in mourning the loss of two dedicated public servants and calling for justice.
