   A shelter-in-place order is in effect in Brooklyn Park after two state lawmakers and their spouses were shot by someone impersonating a police officer.
  Sources say Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman were shot.
  The shelter-in-place order is near Edinburgh Golf Course, and the at-large suspect is considered armed and dangerous.

Authorities are also telling people in the area not to answer their door for a police officer unless it's two officers together

Good thing I already dont do that and if there are two I doubly won't.

A foolproof strategy, because clearly there could never be 2 murderers working together as a team.
