Friends say Minnesota shooting suspect was deeply religious and conservative

  • Vance Luther Boelter, a 57-year-old security contractor, was arrested late Sunday for assassinating Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and shooting Senator John Hoffman and his wife near Minneapolis.
  • The attacks occurred Saturday; authorities executed a search warrant and found an SUV resembling police vehicles containing fliers for an anti-Trump 'No Kings' rally and a list of abortion rights advocates.
  • Boelter was a devout Christian, conservative Republican who attended evangelical churches, supported Trump, preached ministry sermons focusing on moral decay, and expressed anti-abortion views during a 2023 Congo trip.
  • Before the attacks, Boelter texted roommates that he loved them and said, 'May be dead shortly... I wish it hadn't gone this way,' while officials said he made no public threats and Tim Walz called the shootings politically motivated.
  • Boelter faces possible death penalty charges in what federal officials described as a chilling attack on democracy and political extremism, following the largest manhunt in Minnesota history.
