DENVER (KDVR) -- Gov. Jared Polis issued a response to "politically motivated" shootings of a pair of Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses early Saturday.
Former Minnestoa House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her spouse were killed in their home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, while Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were shot and wounded at their home in Champlin.
"Colorado stands with Minnesota, and our deepest sympathies go out to those impacted by what appears to be politically motivated attacks. Make no mistake, politically motivated violence, assassinations, and attempts on the lives of elected officials are not the America we know, hold dear, and love. We must continue to reject the divisive politics and rhetoric that have become too prevalent in our country. Those involved in this heinous crime should never see the light of day again, be fully prosecuted under the law, and Colorado is ready to offer any assistance to our friends in Minnesota," Polis said.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz described the shootings as "targeted political violence," according to the AP. The suspect was repotedly posing as a police officer and is still at large.
