From the New York Times, I'm Rachel Abrams, and this is The Daily.

During a dark and tumultuous weekend, two shootings in Minnesota left one lawmaker dead and another seriously injured.

While overseas, Israel and Iran traded devastating strikes back and forth in what some fear is a new phase of violence in the Middle East. Today, my colleagues Ernesto Landoño on what we

know about the violence in Minnesota,

and Farnas Fasicihi, on what now appears to be an all-out war between Israel and Iran.

It's Monday, June 16.

Ernesto, thank you so much for making time for us.

I'm sure it's been a very hectic and probably quite stressful few days for the people of Minnesota where you are. That's where there's been

a manhunt for the person who was alleged to have shot two lawmakers and was just taken into custody

last night. Authorities still haven't released many details about him or the details surrounding

his arrest. I'd like you to take us to the beginning of the story and tell us what actually

happened in Minnesota over the weekend.

Yeah. In the early hours of Saturday, the police got a call about a shooting at a house in a suburb of

Minneapolis, Champlain. And when they got there, they soon realized that a state senator,

John Hoffman, and his wife had been shot at approximately two in the morning.

Wow. So police are very alarmed by this. And as a proactive measure,

they decided to go check on the residence of another lawmaker, the former speaker of the house,

Melissa Hortman, who lived not far away. And that is where police say they ran into the shooter, a gunman, as he was about to enter the house.

So there was an exchange of gunfire with police.

The gunman manages to get into the home, and he guns down the lawmaker, Mrs. Hortman, and her husband Mark, in their residence.

While the police are outside.

Yes. And unfortunately, Representative Hortman and her husband, Mark, died.
