Minnesota law enforcement officials confirmed on Saturday that the suspect involved in the murder and attempted murder of four people, including state lawmakers, had the names of other elected officials and “No Kings” flyers in his vehicle.
“No Kings” is a reference to nationwide left-wing protests taking place on Saturday to object to President Donald Trump.
“When we did a search of the vehicle, there was a manifesto that identified many lawmakers and other officials. We immediately made alerts to the state. We took action on alerting them and providing security where necessary,” said Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley, according to the Associated Press.
State Patrol Col. Christina Bogojevic said during a presser that the suspect had “No Kings” flyers in his car, displaying a photo of the materials (see below).

The suspect has been described as a white male with brown hair, wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants.
