The killing of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband sent shockwaves through the political world and appeals from elected officials to turn down heated rhetoric.

Federal officials say the suspect in the Minnesota lawmaker shootings had notebooks with a list of over 45 state and federal officials to target. Rep. Kelly Morrison, who says she was on the list, joins Chris Jansing to discuss how “traumatic” the shootings have been on her community and why she fears the political violence will have a chilling effect on the country.

One of the debilitating aspects of any violence is how final and definitive it is and how anemic any response to it feels. Capturing and trying the alleged culprit are necessary next steps but nothing unwinds what was done.

Minnesota law enforcement officials said June 14 a list of individuals, potentially targets, was found in one of Boelter's vehicles, NPR reported. At a press conference, officials said the names on the list were largely in midwestern states, including Michigan.

U.S. Capitol Police increased security for Klobuchar and Smith following the attacks, which occurred early Saturday morning. Minnesota's entire congressional delegation, both Republicans and Democrats, released a joint statement condemning the killings.

The assassination of a Democratic Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband and the shooting of another lawmaker and his wife at their homes are just the latest addition to a long and unsettling roll call of political violence in the United States.

While Washington hosted a military parade, large crowds gathered across the country Saturday to peacefully protest President Donald Trump’s policies. The threat of violence – and news of a political assassination in Minnesota – added to tensions.

The attacks on two Democratic Minnesota state lawmakers at their homes are the latest in a grim and alarming surge of U.S. political violence.
