Minnesotans gathered at the Capitol for "No Kings" protests and mourn Rep. Melissa Hortman, as law enforcement searched for her suspected killer.

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.

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

The suspect who fatally shot Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, and injured Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, had a manifesto with pro-life supporters on it, including Democratic lawmakers. He also had “No Kings" papers in his fake police vehicle.

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.

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.

Also in North Dakota – it’s estimated that 1,700 people turned up in Bismarck, while smaller protests were held in Grand Forks, Jamestown, Bottineau, Devils Lake, Dickinson, Williston and Minot.
