The man accused of shooting two Minnesota Democratic lawmakers and their spouses over the weekend went to the homes of two other lawmakers that night, federal authorities revealed Monday.
“It is no exaggeration to say that his crimes are the stuff of nightmares,” Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson told reporters at a press conference in Minneapolis.
Thompson said one of those lawmakers was away on vacation. The other, according to a criminal complaint obtained and uploaded by The Washington Post, was the subject of a wellness check that likely saved their life.
