ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota lawmakers, terrified by predawn attacks on two of their own, turned to each other on a group text for comfort. A colleague had been killed and another had been shot, and the accused gunman was still on the loose. The 20 Democrats grieved and shared prayers — and began exchanging safety tips as they learned some of them were on the suspect’s list of targets.
“I’m hunkered down,” one wrote Saturday morning after learning that authorities said the suspect had assembled a list of dozens of Democratic targets across the Midwest. “Will stay put. But I feel so sick.”
