From Aaron Rupar:
Law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman’s home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a “police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house.” He was actually the gunman.
Law enforcement official on Hortman shooting: “It was knocking on the door and asking the person to come out. Absolutely impersonating a police officer … we have the suspect’s car. The suspect is on foot.”
Law enforcement official: “When we did a search of the vehicle, there was a manifesto that identified many lawmakers and other officials.” (The suspect is not in custody at this time.)
The man had already shot another Democratic lawmaker and his wife, both of whom have just come out of surgery.
The country is coming apart at the seams.
