US EditionMinnesota lawmaker shooting suspect hit with federal murder, stalking charges, facing life in prison or death
- Vance Boelter, 57, was taken into custody near his residence in Minnesota on Sunday following an extensive manhunt that began after the early Saturday shooting that killed Melissa Hortman, who previously served as the House Speaker, and her husband in Brooklyn Park.
- Authorities found that Boelter’s writings listed roughly 45 Democratic officials from Minnesota at both the state and federal levels, and also referenced Democratic figures in Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin; however, no definitive motive has been established.
- Ohio Representatives Shontel Brown and Emilia Sykes confirmed their inclusion in Boelter's materials, with increased security arranged at Brown's home and U.S. Capitol Police notifying Sykes' office of evidence linking her to the suspect's list.
- Sykes expressed relief that the individual responsible has been caught and emphasized her dedication to serving Ohio’s 13th congressional district, while both she and Brown called for a reduction in divisive political language.
- Lawmakers remain committed to serving their communities despite concerns for their safety, emphasizing that the increase in hostile language, unfounded claims, and targeted harassment leads to serious, harmful outcomes that demand attention from leadership.
