SAINT PAUL, Minn. — June 14 was expected to be a busy day in politics. It's President Donald Trump's birthday, Flag Day and, for some protesters, "No Kings" Day. A military parade was planned in Washington, D.C.

Officials have expressed caution around the nationwide “No Kings” protests after two Minnesota state lawmakers and their spouses were shot early Saturday. One lawmaker and her husband died while the other two survived with severe injuries.

Thousands gathered to march to the state capitol in protest against the Trump administration Saturday, despite a potential threat of a wanted gunman.

Tens of thousands of Americans joined "No Kings" protests across the United States against the Trump administration.

Protesters held signs that read, “No kings since 1776,” “Bad Things Happen When Good People Do Nothing,” “Stop the Parade Fund Medicaid,” “When cruelty becomes normal compassion looks radical” and “Make Orwell Fiction Again.”

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 said on X.

Thousands gathered at the State Capitol on Saturday following the news that a gunman targeted two Minnesota lawmakers.

It began with a moment of silence for a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband who were killed in what Gov. Tim Walz called a political assassination.
