Questions remain about the Minnesota rampage. Anti-abortion extremism may shed light

Police tape is strung outside the home of State Rep. Melissa Hortman on June 15 in Brooklyn Park, Minn. Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, were shot and killed this month in what officials are describing as a political assassination.

The suspect in the killing of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband texted, “Dad went to war last night,’ evoking the language of the far right, Christian anti-abortion movement.
