Mr. Hoffman and his wife have undergone surgery and are expected to survive. Ms. Hortman and her husband were killed in the attack. Hortman recently voted to end health care benefits for illegals (via Star Tribune):
Melissa Hortman, the top Democratic leader in the Minnesota House, was shot and killed along with her husband by a gunman on Saturday morning.
My good friend and colleague, Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, were shot and killed early this morning in what appears to be a politically motivated assassination,” Walz said later Saturday morning at a news conference. “Our state has lost a great leader and I lost the dearest of friends.”

A shelter-in-place order was issued earlier this morning.
“Residents are told not to approach the suspect and to call 911. Authorities are also telling people in the area not to answer their door for a police officer unless it’s two officers together, or call 911 to confirm the identity of the officer at your door,” reported Fox 9 KSMP.
It’s absolutely tragic and senseless—prayers for the entire Hortman family.
