Vance Boelter Arrested in Targeted Shootings of Minnesota Lawmakers

  • Vance Boelter, 57, was arrested late Sunday night in Minnesota for shootings targeting Democratic lawmakers and their families early Saturday morning.
  • Boelter's attacks followed a planned route stopping at four lawmakers' homes, including shootings at Senator John Hoffman’s house at 2:06 a.m. and fatal shootings at Melissa and Mark Hortman’s home at 3:30 a.m.
  • Boelter used a fake police vehicle with emergency lights and carried multiple AK-style weapons, but escaped on foot after ditching his gear, triggering a nearly two-day manhunt.
  • Boelter texted his roommate at 6 a.m. claiming responsibility and indicating he might soon die by suicide, while prosecutors noted his intent to flee and capacity to do so.
  • Facing federal and state charges, Boelter made his first federal court appearance Monday and will remain in U.S. marshal custody pending his next hearing.
