Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, a Columbus #Ohio Democrat, was on a potential hit list of a man accused of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and wounding another lawmaker and his wife.
In an emailed statement June 16, Beatty extended her sympathies to friends and loved ones of Minnesota House Speaker and Rep. Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, whom authorities say were fatally shot June 14 by 57-year-old Vance Boetler.
