A gunman posing as a police officer killed a senior Democratic state assemblywoman and her husband on Saturday in an apparent "politically motivated assassination," and wounded a second lawmaker and his spouse,

The suspect is accused of fatally shooting Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their home. He also shot Minnesota state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, at their home — but they survived the attack.

The man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another crawled to officers in surrender Sunday after they located him in the woods near his home, bringing an end to a massive, nearly two-day search that put the entire state on edge.
