On behalf of the Eden Prairie community, it is with profound sadness and deep sorrow that I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, for their tragic and senseless murders, and the family of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who are fighting for their lives, after being shot in their homes this morning.

This was an attack not only on beloved members of our state, but on the very heart of our democratic values and the community we strive to build alongside one another — one grounded in safety and service.

While the shooter remains at-large, we are deeply grateful to those who are risking their own safety to protect ours.

Violence has no place in our communities, and we will do everything in our power to foster peace and unity in this difficult time.

Mayor Ron Case
