Statement from Mayor Frey
"I am sickened by the assassination of Speaker Hortman and the attack on Senator Hoffman.”
“I have been in contact with our Commissioner, Chief and safety partners all morning, and we have assigned additional police resources to check on the safety of public officials who may be at risk, and to actively participate in the manhunt to bring this suspect to justice.
“Political violence is evil. It cannot be tolerated, and neither can those who condone it or make excuses for it.”
