Melissa Hortman and her husband.“I have been made aware that the shooting suspect was parked near my home early Saturday morning.I am so grateful for the heroic work of the New Hope Police Department and its officers,” Rest said.“Their quick action saved my life.

I am also thankful for the work of state and local law enforcement to apprehend the suspect before he could take any more lives.”A relative of Rest told The Post the lucky lawmaker is “pretty sad” about the targeted shooting.“She’s been [in politics] for I think 42 years and for something like this to happen is just tragic,” the kin said outside Rest’s home Monday.“I know she feels horrible for her colleagues.”“She’s had better days,” she added.

“You lose colleagues like that, that’s terrifying.”...
