Two Minnesota state lawmakers were shot in their homes on Saturday morning by a man impersonating a police officer. Details are still thin, but the victims are State Rep. Melissa Hortman and State Sen. John Hoffman. 

An emergency alert was issued, and the attacker remains at large as of this writing. 

The two shooting locations were about 8 miles away from each other in Champlin and Brooklyn Park, just north of Minneapolis.

Both Hoffman and Hortman are Democrats. Hortman is the former Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

The FBI is helping with the manhunt, two sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Just moments before this publication, it was announced that Hortman had died due to her wounds. Hoffman is reportedly in grave condition. The motive for the shootings is unknown, though Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is calling them a politically motivated assassination.

Claims are going viral that both Hoffman and Hortman recently crossed party lines to repeal healthcare for illegal immigrants. That is not correct. Only Hortman did, with Hoffman opposing the legislation. It is best to wait for more information before speculating why this happened. In the meantime, be on guard for engagement farmers looking to fit things into their narrative. 

This is a developing story.
