A manhunt is underway for the gunman who was impersonating a police officer and had a list of possible targets, officials said.

Officials say Vance Luther Boelter 'stalked his victims like prey.' He faces multiple state and federal charges.

The recent shootings of lawmakers in Minnesota are part of a disturbing trend toward politically linked violence, ABC News analysts say.

Federal officials say the suspect in the Minnesota lawmaker shootings had notebooks with a list of over 45 state and federal officials to target. Rep. Kelly Morrison, who says she was on the list, joins Chris Jansing to discuss how “traumatic” the shootings have been on her community and why she fears the political violence will have a chilling effect on the country.
