In reply to the discussion: Vance Boelter identified as person of interest in Minnesota DFL lawmakers' shootings [View all]LiberalArkie
(18,612 posts)A former appointee of Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is being sought in connection with the assassination of a state lawmaker and the shooting of another, police sources said.
Vance Luther Boelter allegedly posed as a police officer when he shot Sen. John Hoffman and his wife in their Champlin home early Saturday, leaving them seriously injured before moving on to former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortmans house, where he is believed to have slaughtered her and her husband, sources told The Post.
The killer is still on the loose despite exchanging gunfire with officers who responded to Hortmans home and briefly cornered him inside, though he left behind a manifesto listing the names of other politicians and a stack of papers stating No Kings in reference to the nationwide anti-Trump protests.
The attack was clearly a politically motivated assassination, according to Walz, but officials were mum on the motives though it came just five days after Hortman sided with Republican leaders as the lone Democrat to cut access to state health benefits for illegal immigrants in the North Star State.
