I hope he doesn't kill anybody else and I hope he surrenders himself for the sake of his family.

Carlson telling us the suspect quietly returned to the home after the shootings while he was asleep and sent him a goodbye text message which caused him to call police.

 

He just said he felt uh he made he made some choices and he was planning some things that we didn't have known that we didn't know about is what he said and then that he might be dead soon.

 

In the last few months Carlson says Bolter had become less cheerful after returning from a mission trip to central Africa but nothing to suggest he would allegedly commit the crimes he is accused of.

 

I knew him all my life.

He was a good guy you know.

 

The shooting is believed to have begun early Saturday morning at around 2 a.m. Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette shot multiple times outside their home in Champlin.

Still so many questions tonight.

These are all people authorities say have various ideologies taking violent action against Americans including elected officials and other political appointees.

But Trump urging restraint and a return to the negotiating table.

And in a major development ABC News learning he rejected an Israeli plan to kill Iran's supreme leader.

But the large majority of the more than 2,000 nationwide so-called no kings events taking place without incident.

 

In Santa Monica I met a mom and daughter calling for an end to the immigration raids.

You decided to go on to the no kings day protest.

 

How come?

Well it's actually more personal to me because my mom brought me here illegally.

 

We are U.S. citizens now but that doesn't take away the story of how hard it was to get here.

Those raids targeting farm workers days ago in California.

 

President Trump days later saying there would be protections for workers in agriculture and hospitality.

And on Friday Marines in L.A. detaining a veteran who was on his way to the V.A. for an appointment.

 

Mary all of this coming as the Associated Press is reporting that the Trump administration is handing over Medicaid information to immigration enforcement officials.
