Authorities still searching for suspect in shooting of 2 Minnesota state lawmakers
SUMMARY: A man posing as a police officer fatally shot former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and wounded Sen. John Hoffman in politically motivated attacks. Authorities identified the suspect as Vance Boelter, a former state appointee and security contractor. Armed and on the run, Boelter left writings referencing abortion-rights lawmakers and carried “No Kings” flyers. His vehicle held multiple AK-style weapons. The FBI is offering a \$50,000 reward. The shootings, amid rising political violence, prompted enhanced security for lawmakers. Governor Tim Walz called it an assassination, while President Trump condemned the violence. Hortman and Hoffman had championed progressive policies in Minnesota.

Stanko is executed after clemency is denied
SUMMARY: Stephen Stanko, 57, was executed by lethal injection in South Carolina for two 2005 murders: he shot a friend in Horry County and killed his girlfriend in Georgetown County after raping her daughter, who survived a throat-slashing. Stanko apologized in a final statement and asked not to be judged by his worst day. His execution, South Carolina’s sixth in nine months, followed a brief halt due to drug availability. He declined the firing squad after concerns arose from a prior execution. Appeals and a clemency request were denied. Victims’ families and his lawyer witnessed the execution. He died 28 minutes after it began.
