Authorities in Minnesota are looking into a reported break-in that occurred overnight at the sealed-off residence where state Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband were tragically shot and killed over the weekend.

The Brooklyn Park Police Department reported that they received a call at 8 a.m. regarding the break-in at the location where Hortman and her husband lost their lives on Saturday, in what has been officially classified as a “politically motivated” attack.

Investigators had already examined the house as a crime scene, securing it with boards on Sunday morning, while a police surveillance camera trailer was stationed at the front, according to a statement from the police on Wednesday.

Hortman’s family had “removed items of value from the home on Tuesday,” police said.

On Wednesday morning, police said they discovered “that the plywood covering the rear window of the home had been pried off and the window broken to gain entry.”

“The home appeared to have been searched by an unknown individual; however, the family has indicated that they don’t believe anything is missing,” police said.
