The attacks on two Democratic Minnesota state lawmakers at home are the latest in a grim spike in political violence.
Threats and violent acts have become part of the political landscape, still shocking but somehow not so surprising.
A manhunt is underway for the gunman who was impersonating a police officer and had a list of possible targets, officials said.
One of the debilitating aspects of any violence is how final and definitive it is and how anemic any response to it feels. Capturing and trying the alleged culprit are necessary next steps but nothing unwinds what was done.
Federal officials say the suspect in the Minnesota lawmaker shootings had notebooks with a list of over 45 state and federal officials to target. Rep. Kelly Morrison, who says she was on the list, joins Chris Jansing to discuss how “traumatic” the shootings have been on her community and why she fears the political violence will have a chilling effect on the country.
Senators will be briefed by law enforcement Tuesday on safety and security after the murder of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband on Saturday.
