The man suspected of killing a Democratic Minnesota lawmaker has been arrested and charged with murder. And, takeaways from Trump's military parade and the No Kings protests.
Authorities have identified 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter as the suspect sought in connection with the early-morning shootings that left one Minnesota lawmaker and her husband dead, and another lawmaker and his wife seriously injured.
The “No Kings Day” protests will happen at the same time as a parade in Washington initiated by Trump honoring the U.S. Army.
Thousands gathered in Daley Plaza and in suburban events in protests timed to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.
Protesters held signs that read, “No kings since 1776,” “Bad Things Happen When Good People Do Nothing,” “Stop the Parade Fund Medicaid,” “When cruelty becomes normal compassion looks radical” and “Make Orwell Fiction Again.”
Organizers of the "No Kings" demonstrations and local officials urged demonstrators to stay home from planned protests in Minnesota on Saturday after a lawmaker and her husband were fatally shot and another lawmaker and his wife were injured at their homes. Gov. Tim Walz called the incident a “politically motivated assassination.”
