   A shelter-in-place order is in effect in Brooklyn Park after two state lawmakers and their spouses were shot by someone impersonating a police officer.
  Sources say Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman were shot.
  The shelter-in-place order is near Edinburgh Golf Course, and the at-large suspect is considered armed and dangerous.
