7:51 a.m. – Sen. Amy Klobuchar said authorities continue to believe the shooter is somewhere in the Midwest.

“We believe he’s somewhere in the vicinity and that they are going to find him,” she said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “But right now, everyone’s on edge here, because we know that this man will kill at a second. We also know that he is clearly off balance, that from the manifesto on some of his writings, some of the things that he has said recently, that he is someone that no one should mess with, except for law enforcement.”

Klobuchar also said that targeting people with ties to abortion rights may have been a motive of the shooter.

“It was politically motivated, and there clearly was some through line with abortion, because of the groups that were on the list and other things that I’ve heard were in this manifesto,” she said. “So that was one of his motivations. But again, they’re also checking out, did he have interaction somehow with these two legislators? Is there more to this?”
