A suspect is in custody following targeted shootings that left one Minnesota lawmaker dead and another injured. Gov. Tim Walz called the shootings "politically motivated" in a news briefing on Saturday.

A manhunt is underway for the gunman who was impersonating a police officer and had a list of possible targets, officials said.

Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed, and State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were injured in what Gov. Tim Walz called "politically motivated" shootings.
