A Minneapolis teenager shot two campaign aides working for Lacy Johnson, a Republican who is challenging Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), prosecutors said.

The 17-year-old, Jomoy Lee, appeared in court on Monday and remains detained at the Hennepin County Juvenile Detention Center as prosecutors seek to have him tried as an adult.
