Minnesota police and the FBI continue to search for the gunman who posed as a police officer and killed a Democratic lawmaker and her husband in what Governor Tim Walz called a "politically motivated murder."

Police were responding to a shooting at the home of Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman when officers went to check on state Rep. Melissa Hortman, who lived about 9 miles away. As they arrived at her home, they encountered the suspect, 57-year-old Vance Boelter, dressed as a police officer.

As he exited the house, he exchanged gunfire with police before fleeing on foot, leaving behind what appeared to be a police car at the scene. Police found writings in the vehicle that included a kill list with nearly 70 names.

Those named are mostly Democratic politicians or figures with ties to abortion rights, including Minnesota lawmakers Rep. Ilhan Omar and Sen. Tina Smith. Boelter also had survival equipment in the vehicle, but he is still at large.  (A2 Televizion)
