US lawmaker assassinated ahead of Trump parade as protestors gather nationwide
Amidst nationwide protests against a military parade coinciding with Trump's birthday, two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota were shot, one fatally, by an assailant posing as a cop. Governor Walz called it a politically-motivated assassination. Earlier, Senator Padilla was detained while questioning Homeland Security.
