An individual broke into the home of murdered Minnesota Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman on Tuesday night, law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
The break-in occurred just three days after Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed Saturday morning in a politically motivated attack that shocked the nation.
“At 8:00am Brooklyn Park Police were alerted to an overnight break-in at the residence of late State Representative Melissa Hortman,” the police said in a statement.
“It was discovered that the plywood covering the rear window of the home had been pried off and the window broken to gain entry,” Brooklyn Park police said.
“The home appeared to have been searched by an unknown individual; however, the family has indicated that they don’t believe anything is missing.”
