On the same day Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered in a "politically-motivated" assassination, more "politically-motivated" violence occurred at peaceful protests across the country.

Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were wounded in politically motivated shootings early Saturday, Gov. Tim Walz said. Authorities have also identified a suspect who is still at large.

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.

Many showed up at this 'No Kings' protest in Minnesota unaware Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman were killed in what police call politically inspired violence.

It began with a moment of silence for a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband who were killed in what Gov. Tim Walz called a political assassination.
