Sen. John Hoffman undergoes surgery for injuries sustained in lawmaker shootings

Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman is out of the hospital after undergoing a 9-hour surgery for injuries he sustained in June's lawmaker shootings, according to a news release sent Friday.

Hoffman, D-Minnesota Senate District 34, and his wife, Yvette, were shot in their Champlin home during the morning of June 14, before former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed at their home in Brooklyn Park.

Yvette Hoffman says her husband was shot nine times, and she was shot eight times.

John Hoffman underwent surgery on Monday to repair "bullet impact" injuries to his kidney, bladder and colon, the release said. He was discharged from the hospital on Friday and is expected to make a full recovery.
