The home of the democratic representative of the democratic state in Minnesota, Melissa Hortman, was divided on Tuesday evening, the law enforcement officers announced on Wednesday.

The break -in occurred only three days after Hortman and her husband Mark had been shot in the house in a politically motivated attack on Saturday morning.

“At 8 a.m., the Brooklyn Park police were drawn attention to a break -in of the night in the residence of the late representative of the state of Melissa Hortman,” said the police in a statement.

“It was found that the plywood that covered the rear window of the house was broken off and the window was broken to get access,” said the Brooklyn Park police.

“The house seemed to have been searched by an unknown individual. However, the family stated that they did not believe that something is missing,” said the police.

The police said that “all evidence in connection with the murders had been collected” before the break -in was built in.
