Minnesota Lawmakers Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman Reportedly Shot

June 14, 2025 — Minnesota

Multiple news outlets are confirming reports that Minnesota lawmakers Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman were shot at their respective homes today, with at least three victims in total. The shooting occurred earlier this afternoon, and while details are still emerging, the condition of the lawmakers and others involved remains unclear.

Authorities are searching for a suspect who is believed to have impersonated law enforcement officers during the attack. The suspect remains at large, and investigators have yet to confirm a motive for the shooting.

In the wake of the incident, some political controversy has sparked online, particularly regarding the lawmakers’ positions on immigration and healthcare. While it’s been noted that Rep. Hortman did vote to repeal healthcare for undocumented immigrants, claims that Rep. Hoffman also supported the measure have been debunked. Sources suggest that Hoffman did not join Republicans in this controversial vote, contrary to some reports.

As law enforcement continues to investigate, more information is expected to be released soon. We will update this post as further details become available.
