MCCL statement on the attacks against Minnesota legislators

June 14, 2025 | Press Release

ST. PAUL — In response to the attacks against Minnesota legislators earlier today, Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) issued the following statement:

"We are horrified to learn of the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and the shooting of Sen. John Hoffman. We join with Minnesotans across the state in praying for the victims and their families. While we do not yet know the motivations of the shooter, his actions are completely antithetical to the mission of MCCL and the pro-life movement. MCCL has always worked peacefully to advance protections for the vulnerable, and has always deplored and unequivocally condemned violence. We pray that the shooter will be swiftly caught and brought to justice."
