Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve: Shooting of lawmakers hits 'home'

Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve acknowledged it would be difficult to play Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Sparks after two Minnesota lawmakers were shot and one was killed in what Gov. Tim Walz described as "targeted political violence."

"It seems pretty meaningless, certainly, hitting this close to home," an emotional Reeve said Saturday morning.

A man posing as a police officer shot and killed Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband early Saturday, while a second lawmaker, Sen. John Hoffman, and his wife were wounded when they were shot multiple times by the gunman.
