The suspect in the slaying of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband — the suspect also shot Sen. John Hoffman and his wife — remains at large.

The man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another has been taken into custody, two law enforcement officials said.

The suspect in the assassination of a Democrat lawmaker in Minnesota Saturday morning had a stack of flyers reading 'No Kings' in their vehicle, Minnesota State Patrol said on X. 'No Kings' refers to the thousands of demonstrations scheduled to take place throughout the United States Saturday in protest of President Donald Trump as he holds a military parade on his birthday.

Tens of thousands of protesters congregated outside the Minnesota State Capitol Saturday as part of the nationwide "No Kings" protest against the Trump administration, despite authorities urging people to stay home in the wake of the shock killing of Minnesota Rep.
