Minnesota Shooting Targets Multiple Lawmakers, Suspect Caught

Vance Boelter, the suspect in a deadly Minnesota shooting, is charged with federal murder and stalking after killing state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband and wounding state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife. Authorities discovered lists and documents in Boelter's possession containing nearly 70 names of Democratic lawmakers and abortion rights advocates from multiple states, including U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Reps. Mark Pocan, Gwen Moore, Hillary Scholten, and Debbie Dingell. Boelter was apprehended by law enforcement following a two-day manhunt. Lawmakers named in the documents expressed gratitude for police action, condemned political violence, and stressed the importance of de-escalating political tensions. Despite the threats, most indicated they would not alter their public schedules. The attack has led to increased security at political events and renewed bipartisan calls to address political extremism.
