The local officers from Brooklyn Park, Minnesota also stopped further assassinations along with other officers in the moment by going over to check on legislators after learning about what had happened at Senator Hoffman's house. We now know that the assassin went to two other legislators home in between the two shootings that night and in one case sped off after being spotted by the police.
