A survivor of Saturday’s deadly attacks on two Minnesota lawmakers says she and her husband are both “incredibly lucky to be alive” after they were hit by 17 bullets.
State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were gunned down at their home early on Saturday morning, but lived. Melissa Hortman – the top Democratic legislator in the state House – and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed.
Yvette Hoffman said in a statement that she and her husband John were “devastated” by the Hortmans’ deaths.
Police are hunting for the suspect, Vance Luther Boelter, who wore a latex mask and posed as an officer to shoot the victims at their homes in suburban Minneapolis, before escaping on foot.
Mrs Hoffman’s statement was shared on Instagram by Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar.
“John is enduring many surgeries right now and is closer every hour to being out of the woods,” Mrs Hoffman wrote.
“He took 9 bullet hits. I took 8 and we are both incredibly lucky to be alive.
