Is this in reference to some specific piece of news I haven't seen yet?

Yes - two lawmakers and their spouses in Minnesota were victims of assassination attempts by a perp posing as law enforcement. One of the attempts was “successful”.

Not the first sadly 4 days ago we had someone pretending to be ice to steal from people. Last year we had teens doing it but that was the only case on the news.
