Most of the “No Kings” rallies in Minnesota were canceled.

The Minnesota State Patrol is urging the public to say away from any of Saturday’s planned “No Kings” protests because fliers for events were found in the suspect’s vehicle. Officials say a manifesto with the names of other politicians, including U.S. Sen. Tina Smith, was also inside.

Sen. Hoffman and his wife, reportedly friends of the Hortmans and members of the Farmers’ Labor Party, underwent surgery and doctors are “cautiously optimistic” that they will survive. They were shot multiple times.

The suspect, according to the alert, is a white man with brown hair wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants. Authorities are asking residents not to approach the suspect if spotted.
