A manhunt is currently underway in Brooklyn Park for a man pretending to be a police officer.
The suspect, according to the alert, is a white man with brown hair wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants. Authorities are asking residents not to approach the suspect if spotted.
The current condition of both lawmakers and whether any other victims were involved is currently unknown, but reports state multiple victims were at both locations.
