I’m watching CNN on this right now.

The Hortmans are dead, as Mr. Walz reported.

The Hoffmans survived the shooting, but are in hospital. The CNN anchor said they were in surgery.

The area is under a “shelter in place” warning. Plus, since the attacker was disguised as a police officer, people are being warned not to open their door to a single police officer.

Coverage continues.
