The alleged MAGA assassin shot murder victim Melissa Hortmans beloved pet dog so badly it could not be saved.
The horror was revealed as the suspect was caught by a senior Democratic official.
The cruelty knows no bounds, said Ken Martin, a Minnesotan who became chair of the Democratic National Committee earlier this year. He was a longtime friend of the Hortmans, who were brutally attacked in their home early on Saturday morning.
Melissa Hortman, 55, the former Speaker of the House in Minnesota, was shot and killed inside the family home in Brooklyn Park, a city outside Minneapolis. Late on Sunday night, suspect Vance Luther Boelter was apprehended by sheriffs in the Minnesota backwoods.
Hortmans husband, Mark, 58, was also killed in the attack, which left their two adult children without any parents.
Erin Koegel, a member of the Minnesota House since 2017, said one of their first tasks had been to euthanize the golden retriever, which their mother had adored. Her children had to put down him after learning their parents had been murdered, she wrote on X.
Hortman had been a foster home trainer for a local dog shelter called Helping Paws, which is how she came to meet Gilbert.

Rest east, Gilbert. You have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and you're with your people now. And I hope that nasty man goes the OTHER way!
