Alleged Minnesota Lawmaker Shooter Seemingly Clarifies Motive in New Interview
MINNESOTA, JUL 13 – Vance Boelter denies abortion and Trump-related motives and claims new details about the shootings will emerge, despite authorities labeling the attack politically motivated.
- On June 14, 2025, Vance Boelter disguised as an officer and attacked at-home, killing the Hortmans and wounding the Hoffmans.
- Through a handwritten letter to the FBI, Vance Boelter claimed secret military training and orders from Gov. Walz, adding details about a broad hit list.
