President Donald Trump has been briefed on the shootings in Minnesota that appear to have been “a targeted attack against state lawmakers,” the White House said Saturday.

“I have been briefed on the terrible shooting that took place in Minnesota, which appears to be a targeted attack against State Lawmakers,” the president said in a statement released by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on X.

Trump said Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI are leading the investigation, adding that anyone involved “will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

“Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America. God Bless the great people of Minnesota, a truly great place!” The statement continued.

A manifesto identifying “many lawmakers and other officials,” was found when law enforcement searched the vehicle of the suspect wanted in the assasination of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman, according to Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley.

“We immediately made alerts to the state, who took action on alerting them and providing security where necessary,” the chief said.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi said she is closely monitoring what appears to be a targeted attack against state lawmakers in Minnesota on Saturday and vowed swift and full prosecution for those responsible

She also said the “horrific violence will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman, a mother of two, grew up in Spring Lake Park and Andover, according to a previous campaign page. She was elected to the state House of Representatives in 2004.

The campaign page described her as “a lifelong resident of the northern suburbs, a mother, a volunteer, and a small business person.”

The page also described her as a dedicated volunteer who balanced her law practice as well as teaching Sunday school at Saint Timothy Catholic Church in Blaine.

Gov. Tim Walz today said she was a “formidable public servant, a fixture and a giant in Minnesota,” who “woke up every day determined to make this state a better place.”

She was a member of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said the FBI is “fully engaged” on the ground in Minnesota after Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed early this morning in “what appears to be a politically motivated assassination,” according to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

“The FBI is fully engaged on the ground in Minnesota and is working in collaboration with our local and state partners,” Bongino wrote in a post on X.

The suspect is at large and a massive manhunt is underway, officials said at the news conference.

Authorities are searching for a male wearing black body armor and a blue shirt who may have impersonated law enforcement, one law enforcement source told CNN.

The FBI is assisting in the investigation.

Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed early Saturday morning in “what appears to be a politically motivated assassination,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said at a news conference.

Minnesota State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were also targeted by the same individual and each shot multiple times, Walz said. They have undergone surgery and are alive.

“The Hoffmans are out of surgery at this time and receiving care, and we are cautiously optimally optimistic, they will survive this assassination attempt,” the governor said.

Both lawmakers are members of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party.
