Two Minnesota Democratic lawmakers and their spouses were reportedly gunned down in “targeting” shootings on Friday night.

State Sen. John Hoffman and state Rep. Melissa Hortman and their spouses were shot by a suspect allegedly impersonating a police officer in Champlin and Brooklyn Park, according to FOX 9 Minneapolis.

The condition of the lawmakers and their spouses is currently unknown.

There is a manhunt underway for the suspect, who is described as a white male with brown hair, wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants, Fox 9 reports.
