On the same day Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered in a "politically-motivated" assassination, more "politically-motivated" violence occurred at peaceful protests across the country.

Minnesotans gathered at the Capitol for "No Kings" protests and mourn Rep. Melissa Hortman, as law enforcement searched for her suspected killer.

The man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another has been taken into custody, two law enforcement officials said.
