US EditionAlleged Minnesota Lawmaker Shooter Seemingly Clarifies Motive in New Interview
MINNESOTA, JUL 13 – Vance Boelter denies Trump or pro-life motives for the June 14 shootings and claims a complex, undisclosed motive involving events over two years, authorities said.
- In Brooklyn Park on June 14, 2025, Vance Boelter disguised himself as law enforcement to murder Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, authorities say.
- Previously, Boelter served on the Minnesota Workforce Development Council and supported pro-life causes, yet he recovered a handwritten list of 70 targets, suggesting complex motives.
- His vehicle, styled as a cruiser, contained fliers for the `No Kings Day` protests, and he wore a `hyper-realistic` face and head mask, sparking a two-day manhunt in Green Isle.
- From Sherburne County Jail, Boelter denied ties to Trump or pro-life beliefs, while stating `You are fishing and I can’t talk about my case`.
- His case heads to court in Minnesota this week, as Boelter faces a possible federal grand jury indictment for the June shootings.
