Allegedly posing.
Its confirmed.
The suspect's name is out, him and his wife ran a private security firm, which is how he had a vehicle that looked identical or near identical to police cruiser.
He was also previously in some kind of MN state official political committee, its quite likely he had at least previously met, if not generally knew the people he targeted... Melissa Hortman was the Speaker of the Minnesota House at the time he was in that committee.
He fled on foot, and in his private security mobile, actual police found ... what is being described as an anti-abortion hitlist, including Ilhan Omar, and a whole bunch of other MN Democrats... but as of yet, the entire list/manifesto doesn't appear to have been publically released.
