The suspect vehicle – which looks like a police vehicle, including police lights – is in the Hortman entrance, said the authorities, and a list of potential targets found in the car.
Walz said in a statement, “We are not a country that resolves our differences with weapons. We have shown repeatedly in our country that it is possible not to agree peacefully, that the state outside is strengthened by civil public debates. We must unite with all forms of violence.”
“We will not set aside resources in bringing those who are responsible to the court,” he added.

The shelter in the place has been raised for Brooklyn Park. The local leaders said, even though the suspect was still free, “There is a reason to believe that he is no longer in the area.”
