My daughter graduated HS two weeks ago, throwing her a party this weekend then moving into freshman dorms at WVU in August.
Man, this is flying by. Enjoy them while they're home for sure.

I've always hit a little fade, but I had wrist surgery and just started playing again after over a year. My fade has disappeared, but I continue to aim like aim going to hit it. So lots tree issues on the left side.

Been listening to the new Miley Cyrus album and digging it. Touches on a bunch of different genres: pop, 80s pop, 60s/70s R&B, some Dolly Parton-esque country, etc. Have a feeling that End of the World is going to end up as the song of the summer and we’ll be hearing it everywhere. Especially with how fitting the line “let’s pretend it’s not the end of the world” feeling so relevant at the moment.

So at least half my staff aren’t showing up to work today out of fear of ICE raids. Neat.

Not a great day in Minnesota. I'll just leave it at that.

Is that where you are?
I was going to start a thread but knew it would devolve instantly.
I wanted to ask locals- what it was about the two targets than made them targets?

Yeah, I'm in the metro. This happened in north suburbs. I'm south. Supposedly 70 names on the hit list found in his car. Dressed as police officer and in a vehicle equipped with lights and siren that looked like a police SUV.
Sounds like he ran a security among other things. He was appointed to some government workforce council, whatever that is, by Walz and a Democrat governor before him. Time on council ended in Jan. 2023.
Both of those shot are Democrats state politicians. They haven't said who else was on the list, but they said the list of targets also included abortion clinics.
No motive yet, but apparently found a manifesto in vehicle, I'm sure it will all become clear soon.

Unbelievable police work to stop potentially dozens more assassinations. After they got 911 call on first shooting (where they survived) a local cop said, should go check the other state politician that lives a few miles away just to be sure. They sent a car over and ran into the guy in the act of murdering her and her husband and he shot at cops and ran off.
Could have been so much worse.

Wow, I hadn't heard that. That intuition could end up saving lives.
I hope they catch this piece of garbage soon. Incredibly depressing to see this story today.

Left his vehicle behind full of a lot of guns and ammunition when he had to run off.
Still on the loose. But name and photo out there now.

Well, he got out of the area. Officials just confirmed that. They have footage of him wearing different clothes and in the city of Minneapolis sometime this morning (after the shootings). That means the net is much, much wider now. Not good.

Awful. Appreciate the updates on the situation.

Definitely... Thank you for these.

News came out late last night that police pulled over a vehicle well north of Minneapolis late yesterday morning that had the shooter's wife in the car along with some other relatives of the shooter. Also in the car: a gun, ammunition and passports.

Good to hear they were caught. I hope that leads to catching this SOB and anyone else involved.

The state senator who survived was shot 8 times. His wife, who also survived, was shot 9 times. She apparently laid on top of their daughter to protect her and keep her from being shot.
Developing in last half hour is that the shooter's vehicle has been found abandoned on the side of a rural highway in the same general area of his house that police have been at since yesterday morning. The cowboy hat was laying on road too.
Seems weird that he's still in Minnesota and would go back towards his house when he has to know they know who he is. Now they're starting to search house to house in that area. But very rural farm country. Houses will be very spread out. Almost wonder if that's a decoy to get them to waste time there while he goes somewhere else.
Starting to wonder if he's getting help.

they should all go to jail, too. #### them.
Anyone is welcome to start a thread on it. Please let's try not to let it move political if possible. It will be interesting to see how it differs from the Insurance executive that was murdered.
GM is my long time good buddy, but it always bums me to see the forum divide into cliques instead of using the entire forum as @cosjobs noted.

I said I was going to start a thread, but like the insurance one... And even moreso... I knew this would devolve immediately if let loose to gen pop.
Thank you. I'm always a fan of the whole forum discussing. Sometimes, we're not able to. And I could see this one being one we can't with the clear political connections. But it seems worth a try. Either way, always a much bigger fan of being inclusive and making it for the whole FFA.
