Minnesota organizers canceled "No Kings" protests after two state lawmakers were shot. Gov. Tim Walz called it a "politically motivated assassination."

Minnesota Democratic state Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed early Saturday morning in an act of "targeted political violence," Governor Tim Walz said during a press conference Saturday.

The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

Protesters plan to march through Minnesota's capital city on Saturday as part of nationwide counterprogramming to President Trump's planned military parade in Washington, D.C.

The suspect in the assassination of a Democrat lawmaker in Minnesota Saturday morning had a stack of flyers reading 'No Kings' in their vehicle, Minnesota State Patrol (MSP) said on X, formerly Twitter.

Minnesota State Patrol shared a photo of fliers which said "No kings" found inside the vehicle of the at-large suspect involved in the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers. NBC News' Maggie Vespa reports on latest in the manhunt and the national protests organized under the slogan "No kings.

On the same day Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered in a "politically-motivated" assassination, more "politically-motivated" violence occurred at peaceful protests across the country.

Most of the "No Kings" protests across the country were peaceful, however, one person has died from a shooting in Salt Lake City.
