Minnesota Lawmaker and Husband Killed, Another Lawmaker and Wife Injured in ‘Politically Motivated Shooting ’ by Police Impersonator
- On June 14, 2025, Minnesota Representative Melissa Hortman and her spouse were killed in a shooting at their Brooklyn Park residence, while another legislator, Senator John Hoffman, and his spouse sustained injuries in a separate but connected attack.
- The shootings occurred during heightened political volatility and targeted violence against lawmakers, with suspect 57-year-old Vance Boelter impersonating a police officer to access victims' homes.
- Boelter left an abandoned vehicle containing a list of about 70 names including Minnesota Democrats and abortion providers, prompting a large manhunt supported by the FBI and local police.
- Governor Tim Walz called the murders a "politically motivated assassination" and ordered flags at half-staff to honor Hortman, who served with grace, compassion, and tirelessness for over 20 years.
- These attacks underscore growing political violence in the U.S. and have prompted calls from leaders for peace and calm while the manhunt continues for the armed suspect.
