The attacks on two Democratic Minnesota state lawmakers at home are the latest in a grim spike in political violence.

Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were wounded in politically motivated shootings early Saturday, Gov. Tim Walz said. Authorities have also identified a suspect who is still at large.

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.
