Candlelight Vigil For Lawmakers To Be Held Tonight

(St. Paul, MN) — A candlelight vigil to remember House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark is being held tonight (Wed 8pm) on the steps of the State Capitol. The Hortman’s were killed in what authorities have called a political assassination Saturday morning in their Brooklyn Park home. Organizers say there will not be any speakers as this will be a time to reflect and remember the lives of Melissa and Mark Hortman. The public is asked to bring their own candles, but no signs of any kind will be allowed. The capitol building will be closed during the vigil.
