MINNESOTA, JUN 17 – President Trump refused to call Minnesota Governor Tim Walz after politically motivated shootings of two lawmakers, calling Walz "whacked out," while suspect Vance Boelter faces federal murder charges.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced he would not be reaching out to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz following a weekend shooting that resulted in the death of one lawmaker and injury to another.
- The shooting targeted Democratic politicians and was carried out by Vance Boelter, who planned a killing spree against several state officials aligned with Walz.
- Walz condemned the violence firmly and coordinated with federal agencies while Trump continued to criticize Walz personally, labeling him a 'terrible governor' and 'grossly incompetent.'
- Boelter, 57, was apprehended following Minnesota's most extensive manhunt on record and is charged with murder at both the state and federal levels amid heightened political tensions.
