Hortman was fatally shot two weeks earlier by a man posing as a police officer in an attack that Minnesota’s chief federal prosecutor has called an assassination.

On a warm, humid Saturday morning, grieving loved ones gathered at The Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis to honor Minnesota’s former House Speaker and her husband, whose shocking killings in an attack earlier this month stunned the nation.

About 1,500 people on Saturday attended the funeral of slain former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in Minneapolis.
