Former speaker of the MN House of Representatives. State senator also shot. Perp impersonating a police officer. Had a list of more potential victims.

List was pretty long, like 70 names. Other politicians, abortion providers, people in states other than MN.
edit:
From CNN:
Law enforcement found a hit list in the Minnesota suspect’s car that contained nearly 70 names, a law enforcement official briefed on the matter told CNN.
The names included abortion providers, pro-abortion rights advocates, and lawmakers in Minnesota and other states, the official added. Law enforcement also found a Father’s Day card addressed to the suspect in a bag full of ammunition, the official said.
A second official briefed on the case echoed the targeting of abortion providers to CNN’s Holmes Lybrand.

I can only hope they capture the perpetrator very quickly and identify any accomplices he may have had. I can't imagine that a list of over 70 names and addresses would be very easy for a lone actor to compile.
I still have fond memories of the time I spent working in Minnesota over 50 years ago.

Well, Tim Walz "encouraged" people to stay home, and the organizers cancelled. I would have preferred a different approach, but I don't live there.
A very practical decision, as I would expect from Walz.
-
I had heard that the organizers cancelled the protests in MN. But the people came anyway.
-
I don't understand why the charges are for second degree murder. Anyone? I mean, having a hit list--how much more do you need for first degree murder charges?
Minnesota law. Only the grand jury can bring charges of first degree murder. Might take a few days.
With any luck he’ll be tried on state charges so he doesn’t get pardoned.

This is Mike Lee, Republican Senator from Utah. The GOP is full of very twisted and sick people.
-
I think there may be more to this story than has come to light thus far.
Maybe not, but he seems to have spent a lot more money than you’d expect him to have as a clerk at 7-11 with a night job at a funeral home. Lots of travel, cars, guns, etc.
-
He also killed the Horton's Golden Retriever,
Maybe this will trigger some sorrow from our GOP friends....
Well, not from Noem.
