Minnesota Senator Leaves ICU After Home Shooting Attack
Minnesota state Senator John Hoffman has been discharged from the intensive care unit following a shooting that left him and his wife hospitalized for over three weeks. The Democratic lawmaker was moved out of critical care on Monday, marking a significant step in his recovery.
Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot in their home three weeks ago in what authorities are investigating as a targeted attack. Both victims sustained serious injuries that required immediate medical intervention and extended hospital stays.
The shooting occurred at the couple’s residence, though police have not released specific details about the circumstances surrounding the attack. Investigators continue to examine evidence and interview witnesses to determine the motive behind the violence.
A family spokesperson confirmed Hoffman’s transfer from the ICU but did not provide details about his current condition or expected recovery timeline. The senator’s wife remains hospitalized, though her current status has not been disclosed.
The incident has sent shockwaves through Minnesota’s political community, where Hoffman serves as a respected member of the state legislature. Colleagues from both parties have expressed support for the family during this difficult period.
Law enforcement agencies are actively pursuing leads in the case. No arrests have been announced, and authorities have not identified any suspects in connection with the shooting.
The investigation remains ongoing as both victims continue their recovery process.
