The Hortman family gathered at the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office on Tuesday afternoon for a formal procession to honor Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark who were fatally shot over the weekend in their Brooklyn Park home.
Federal authorities posted murder and stalking charges against Vance Boelter of Green Isle for the killing of the Hortman’s and attempted murder of DFL State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette who survived serious injuries.
A candlelight vigil will be held Wednesday in honor of Melissa and Mark Hortman on the steps of the state Capitol at 8 p.m. The Capitol building will be closed to the public during this event.
Attendees are asked to bring their own candles and to not bring signs of any kind.
