Influencers like Alex Jones and Elon Musk have spent the weekend blaming the murder of Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman on leftists and the deep state.

Former Republicans Tim Miller and MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace were incensed by the behavior of former colleagues over the assassination and threats to Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota over the weekend.

Federal and state officials are bringing multiple charges including murder against the suspect in the shooting of two Minnesota Democratic lawmakers, who were attacked this weekend along with their spouses.

A criminal complaint filed in federal court outlines allegations against Vance Luther Boelter, accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses.

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.

Lawmakers on Sunday continued to reel from the shooting of two Democratic Minnesota state legislators in their homes that led to the death of one and her husband, contemplating a previously unthinkable world where democratically-elected representatives need full-time security details to protect them from the public.

The suspect, identified by authorities as Vance Luther Boelter, 57, was arrested after state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed, and State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were shot multiple times and wounded in Brooklyn Park and Champlin, two neighboring suburban cities 10 to 20 miles outside Minneapolis.

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in what Gov. Tim Walz called a 'politically motivated' assassination on June 14, while Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were injured.

The man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers, killing one of them, has been taken into custody, two law enforcement officials said.

A two-day manhunt ended with the capture of a suspect wanted in connection with the killing of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband, as well as another shooting.
