US EditionHouse unanimously adopts resolution condemning Minnesota shootings
- On June 14, 2025, Minnesota state Representative Melissa Hortman and her spouse Mark were killed in a shooting at their residence, with Vance Boelter identified as the suspect.
- The shooting occurred after an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Senator John Hoffman and his wife, leading officers, including Brooklyn Park’s Zachary Baumtrog, to conduct a welfare check.
- When officers arrived, they saw an SUV parked in the Hortman driveway with flashing emergency lights that looked like a police vehicle, and Boelter was positioned at the front door wearing a police uniform; a gunfire exchange occurred with Baumtrog discharging his firearm.
- The House passed resolution H.Res.519 condemning the attacks with a unanimous vote of 424 members, and Speaker Johnson emphasized the bipartisan support from both Republicans and Democrats.
- Officer Baumtrog was placed on critical incident leave as the use-of-force investigation proceeds while lawmakers call for unity and increased security measures after this politically motivated violence.
