Minnesota lawmaker shot 9 times at his home in 'targeted' attack is in a critical condition

The Minnesota lawmaker who survived an attack by a gunman on his doorstep is still in a critical condition and has revealed details of the terrifying moment he and his wife were shot multiple times.

Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, released a statement Thursday, obtained by NBC affiliate KARE of Minneapolis, outlining the events in the early hours of June 14.

The Hoffmans continue their recovery in the hospital — Sen. Hoffman is in a critical but stable condition, while his wife is in a stable condition, the statement said.

The suspected gunman, Vance Boelter, is accused of shooting them and killing the state’s top legislator, Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz described the shootings as "targeted political violence."

And thank goodness they are still alive. I don't know how anyone survives being shot that many times.

Take your time, get the care, get your rehab, and get home when you can.

A nice Thanksgiving Dinner with your family and friends is good medicine and
don’t about taking care of the snow around your house this winter because Gov.
Tim and Gus Walz will have that covered.
