Republican challenger Lacy Johnson is hoping to beat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar to represent the people of Minnesota’s 5th congressional district.

He already faces an uphill battle, and last night things took a tragic turn in North Minneapolis when a gunman shot two of his campaign staffers — killing one. 

The Daily Caller’s Jordan Lancaster reports:

One victim, a 17-year-old man, died at the scene, MPR News reported. The other victim was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A suspect was arrested Thursday morning in connection with the crime after a police pursuit, the Minneapolis Police Department told the Daily Caller.

“It is shocking and unnecessary acts of violence like this that prove why change is needed now more than ever in our community,” Johnson said, adding that the shooting didn’t occur during any campaign events and that they believe it has no connection to the campaign.

The two victims were standing outside of a service station Monday afternoon when they were approached and shot by the suspect or suspects, who then fled on foot, a preliminary police investigation found according to the Minneapolis Police Department.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office will release the victim’s identity in the coming days.

    1. YES bo’s 8 years of violating 78 U.S. Laws and this 1952 law signed by POTUS Truman banning islam in the U.S.A. as enemies is one of bo’s #1 crimes allowing islam, muslims into the U.S again ! Treason all the way to the gallows, non-stop !

      1. Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, Public Law 82–414, 66 Stat. 163, also known as the McCarran–Walter Act, Title 8 of the US Code (8 U.S.C. ch. 12) abolished the restrictions on Asian immigrating to the US.

        As far as inadmissibility to immigrate or provisions for deportation, it prohibited those guilty of crimes involving moral turpitude. Under the sections, “Inadmissible aliens” and “Deportable aliens”, aliens were ineligible for NATURALIZATION if suspected of or committed criminal convictions, illegal gambling, alcohol use, drug trafficking, prostitution, unlawful voting, etc. within five years of entry.

        The Act also deemed aliens who were anarchists or members of or affiliated with the COMMUNIST PARTY or any other totalitarian organizations that planned to overthrow the US as deportable aliens. The law provides that aliens who’re “successors of any association of Communism, regardless of name changes, still fell under the deportable aliens. ALIENS who advocated, taught, wrote, published in support for communism, a totalitarian dictatorship, and the overthrowing of the United States were also deportable aliens.”

        It DOES NOT mention Islam. That comes from the convoluted reasoning of those opposed who believe ALL Muslims in the US want to overthrow it.

        The Internal Security Act of 1950, 64 Stat. 987 (Public Law 81-831), also known as the Subversive Activities Control Act of 1950, or simply the McCarran Act, also didn’t ban Muslims, but rather targeted communists.

        Furthermore, the SCOTUS Decisions of Aptheker v. Secretary of State 1964 and United States v. Robel 1967 further weakened the the 1950 Act.

        So please stop spreading the false claim that US law prohibits Muslim immigration completely or advocates deporting Muslim immigrants, and especially Muslim Natural Born Citizens. NBCs can neither be deported, have their citizenship stripped, or sent to GITMO. In the latter case, it only applies if they’re caught on a FOREIGN battlefield.

        By the way, look up the definition of treason and where its found in US law. I believe it’s true that Obama, Clinton, and Panetta committed treason, but it’s not for the reason you think.

        1. If it’s not illegal it should be, I know everyone in that faith is not radical but in order to be in that faith they have to believe in the pillars of Islam every American should read the 7 pillars of Islam so you know what you’re dealing with and their fundamental ideologies are to convert or kill the infidel ( THAT’S US the non-muslim) so no they should not be allowed to hold a political office in America where they can influence our way of life

        2. The Congress is not allowed to make any law(s) regarding the establishment of religion OR ANY LAWS PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF. Muslims may practice their belief system as long as it does not advocate overthrow of or attempt to replace the United States Constitutional Government. Sharia Law IS PROHIBITED. The US Constitution is the Supreme Law of the United States of America–PERIOD!

          1. Thats NOT a religion! Its been stated so many times! And yes they are here to TRY to over throw our GOVT!

          2. There you have it. PRACTICE A RELIGION. But we KNOW that islam is not a religion but a quasi form of government that pretends to be a religion. IF we had congressmen and SCOTUS JUSTICES who had brains, there would be NO doubt about

            1. “shall not be infringed. (2nd amendment)
            2. What constitutes a religion.
        3. GOTCHA.
          You see, the muslims have TAQIYYA and MURUNA. That gives the right to LIE at any time they might suffer from their ISLAMIC beliefs.
          So you can’t prove a single muslims is peaceful. They could be JUST LYING.

      2. EVERY TIME I post this FACT FB puts me in FB jail, I agree no one with that faith has no right to hold a political office in America

      3. Thanks ward. And don’t forget bo’s sending cash to Iran. With that he lent aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States of America. The Constitution defines that as TREASON!

    2. I would say you are correct! Wake the hell up America..Keep voting in DEMOCOMMUNISTS/MOOSLIMES/RINOS and THIS my friends, will be the “normal operations” in this country. We are slowly being turned into a communist-controlled third-world cesspool unless people open their eyes and rid our country of these scum.
      VOTE WISELY my friends unless you desire to become controlled “subjects” the corrupt democommunists will be free to use. abuse, regulate beyond belief, tax to death, or (just like this) “ELIMINATE” anyone (or groups) they choose to, to hold on to complete POWER and CONTROL.

    1. This 2020 fisaco of terrorist crimes, blm, antifa, china dem germ war fare -19 virus is instigated terror by bo, hilary treasonous coup after she lost in 2016 ! They’re still free with more conspiracy crimes to be dictators over the U.S.A. !

  1. IF the attack was politically motivated, CHARGE THE POLITICIAN THEY WERE SUPPORTING as an ACCESSORY TO MURDER.

    Her own words and activities ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED VIOLENCE against others.

  2. Revolution times when the opposition is shooting people over an election. But then again who has the record for the most violent people on the planet in the history for the past 14 centuries. MUSLIMS. Some are savage killers and terrorists, and this fact should should not be censored just because you think it will hurt their feelings. What about the feelings of the young man’s family who was gunned down for disagreeing with Ilhan Omar, and speaking out against the worst muslim terrorist in Congress?.

  3. There doesn’t appear to be any obvious motive based on this report. No altercation. No robbery. Just walked up to these two staffers and shot them. Given this, I don’t think you can rule out a premeditated act.

    1. It was clearly premeditated. The question is was it politically motivated and was Omar involved? I would predict it was politically motivated. Proving Omar was involved will be the harder thing to prove unless the assassin starts singing like a canary.

  4. POTUS Truman signed into law 1952 outlawing muslim, islam in the U.S.A as dictator, sharia law advocates to destroy U.S. Constitutional Freedom & Rights ! NOW these muslims are still destroying the U.S. Constitution with congressional power that is illegal in the U.S.A. DOES the U.S.A. ha e a DOJ or even a law enforcing agency to stop these terrorist attacks on U.S. National Security?! IS vigilante justice by U.S. Patriots the only stop to destroy U.S.A.’s enemies ???

  5. Seems a bit of a stretch to draw a line from opposing parties that they are/were responsible until more facts come out.. Were staffers wearing banners for Lacy? I cannot believe Omar is still outside of jail for her fraud and deceit, but let’s just let the dust clear and see what transpires!

    1. Unfortunately there will probably be no repercussions to Omar since the perpetrator (perpeTRAITOR?) probably won’t give up Omar but her challenger should use it against her anyway.

  6. Riiiight…had nothing to do with the campaign…uh huh…move along, folks–nothing to see here…yep…move along.

  7. We don’t even want to hear the name Omar ever again! She is worse than the 9/11 perps because she is an influence in Congress and the Country. This is what Hatred for America looks like!!

  8. If these killers are Somalian we need to take action and make them accountable for the Murder and attempted Murder of campaign associates. Death penalty and definately on a fast track to get it done,.

    1. Regardless of if they are Somolian or not they must he made accountable . This is Mogadisheu a speedy trial and conviction is warranted and Omar must be held accou table for actions of her campaign workers as well . Somehow I suspect a deeper investigation will find a much deeper and sinister plot .

  9. If PRESIDENT TRUMP and the rest of the Republican Party candidates do not win this election, we are on our way to becoming a third world dictatorship. There are so many unvetted, as well as illegal immigrants in our country now, that they have brought the bad things to our country that they were supposedly trying to flee. That is the reason that countries have limits on immigration to stop too many immigrants from coming in to upset the balance and preserve the laws and mores of our home country. Our future is truly up to you and how you vote.

  10. No connection to the campaign my ass! It’s clearly connected! Coincidences are for the weak, politically correct and feeble minded.

  11. “It is shocking and unnecessary acts of violence like this that prove why change is needed now more than ever in our community,” Johnson said, adding that the shooting didn’t occur during any campaign events and that they believe it has no connection to the campaign.

    Yeah, just like so many of Hillary’s cronies “committed suicideNOT!!!

    Where does this all end?

    Illhan needs to go NOW!!!

    1. I read where the area she lives in are all somalians, that s how and why she stays in! Bo brought them in and put them all together. The real citizens were already there.

  12. I have my doubts that this was random, though it could be as lawless as certain areas have become. It is quite possible that Ilhan Omar’s side has photos and biographical info on all her opponent’s staff. Hard left Democrats keep lauding murder, beatings, and all kinds of fear and intimidation of conservatives. This is the Communist Party staging a coup. Marxist trained and funded BLM and Antifa are there proxy army. Don’t think for one minute that members of these groups and/or their supporters and willing and able to stage what might seem to be”lone world” attacks when they are just another part of their strategy.

  13. Our country is faced with a difficult decision with this election will we as a nation stand behind the man who cares deeply about our democracy or will our country go down the destructive road to socialism or Muslim domination?

  14. How anyone with a brain at all would believe the daily lies the media tells about Trump is beyond me. Not mere mistakes of facts by the media, but absolute, outright lies

  15. What is going to happen is that the American silent majority are going to reach a boiling point, and it’s not going to be pretty for these anti-American trouble makers. Then, and only then will the Democrat/radical liberal leadership be forced to speak out against what they’ve allowed to happen… enough is enough.

  16. Everyone who has spoken out in the comments needs to make a donation to Lacy Johnson. I will, and I’m from Texas. Show or discuss this article with several of your friends and get them to donate to Lacy Johnson. Make sure each of you vote RED from top to bottom of your ballots. Make a difference! Call me to the defense of our great country. Trump 2020 Lacy Johnson 2020!

  17. IS THIS WHAT THE PEOPLE OFMN REALLY WANT? MUSLIMS KILLING PEOPLE FOR THEIR BELIEF! JUST REMEMBER 9/11 WHEN YOU VOTE!

  18. This had everything to do with Lacy Johnsons campaign but god forbid you say it. Can’t look into Omar because she’s a Muslim, unbelievable. The Twin Cities is a sh***ole there is no way to move thousands of Muslims into a city and not have this happen, we have our previous governor Mark Dayton (the POS) to thank for that. I am a Minnesotan but don’t live anywhere near this district just hope those that do vote Omar out!

  19. It would seem that the blacks are working hard to prove that THEY at least cannot be trusted with a gun and be civilized.

  20. what do you expect when you bring people from Hell Hole countries that murder others for no reason. all of these people need to be sent back to where ever they came from. our country won’t be safe until they are ALL gone

  21. These people are members of Omars team . As such Omar herself must be held accountable as well . This may be how things were done in Somolia but this is America , not some third world backwater dungpile .

  22. I’ll stick with, the only good Muslim, is a dead Muslim. The long range plan of the Muslims, is to make Islam the worlds religion. They do it by population. You see it unfolding in parts of our country now. We plan for next day, they plan a hundred years down the road. The only way to stop it, is kill every last one of them.
    One way might be go into every city they have taken over, with a dump truck, a payloader, and machine guns. Yes, I know, that sounds outlandish, but that’s the only way to get rid of them.

  23. This should wake up people in MN and every other state. They are out to kill whoever goes against them. They may not be a part of the Omar campaign but that should not matter if they are killing the Republicans. VOTE RED!!!

  24. This IS the muslim way. WHY?
    There are two kinds of muslims.

    1. Radicals who will kill anyone who does not agree with them.
    2. Those who do not practice their faith at all. They ignore parts of the koran until some imam or cleric ACTIVATES them.
