Gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson drops out of race after daughter killed in St. Cloud
Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson has dropped out of the governor’s race after his daughter was killed on Saturday night in St. Cloud, according to an announcement from the Republican Party of Minnesota.
St. Cloud police say officers responded to a home on the 3100 block of 40th Avenue South on a report of a medical emergency around 8:20 p.m. on Saturday.
At the scene, investigators found 22-year-old Hallie Marie Tobler deceased with multiple stab wounds. They also found her husband, 23-year-old Dylan Michael Tobler, with stab wounds that are believed to be self-inflicted.
As of Sunday night, Dylan Tobler was in the hospital, but he will eventually be booked into Stearns County Jail.
The Republican Party of Minnesota identified Hallie Tobler as Johnson’s daughter.

Wonder what that was about. Sad and shocking.
It would be reckless NOT to speculate.
