What we know: A shelter-in-place alert was sent out at 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning by the Brooklyn Park Police Department after multiple shootings. A suspect in the shooting may be impersonating law enforcement and should not be approached.

The shelter-in-place alert sent at 5:30 a.m. by Brooklyn Park Police Department is for the 3-mile radius around the Edinburgh Golf Course.

Police say they are looking for a suspect in multiple targeted shootings. The suspect is armed and dangerous.

The suspect is a white man with brown hair wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants, and he may be impersonating law enforcement.

Honestly surprising you don’t see it more often shooters impersonating officers or other authority figures

It isn’t that difficult to obtain fake cop uniforms, and it’s even fairly easy to purchase old cop cars

You are going to be surprised when you understand what's behind it...and you'll run from the subject.

I haven’t read up on it completely but it seems like Hortman went against party lines and voted with the R’s to repeal state funded Medicaid for adult illegal immigrants.

We don’t know the motive yet but it could be tied to this.

The Minnesota senate is 34D/33 Republican.

2 Dem Senators were shot giving Republicans the majority for now.

He’s convinced that MAGA sleeper agents are laying in wait across the country listening for Trump to give the dog whistle.

What would you do If you were the suspect and you had to leave on foot after engaging in shots fired with police officers?
Would you not go to someone's house and
pretend again that you are a police officer, get
inside and then get
money and a car and leave?
And of course get a change of clothes and make a sammy?
