Manhunt underway in Minnesota as police name suspect in shootings of Democratic politicians
A MANHUNT IS underway in Minnesota after a gunman shot and killed a Democratic politician and her husband, and wounded two other people in what the US state's governor called politically motivated attacks. Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman, a former speaker of the House, and her husband Mark were killed at their home in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Park, Governor Tim Walz announced in a news conference. State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot and wounded at their home in nearby Champlin, he said. Police named the suspected assailant as 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter, who was still at large and considered 'armed and dangerous.' 'We believe he's working to potentially flee the (Minneapolis-St Paul) area,' Drew Evans, superintendent of the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, told reporters. Boelter had been spotted Saturday morning in the Minneapolis area on surveillance footage obtained from a business, the official said. Evans said authorities were still investigating the suspect's motives, and did not know if additional people were involved in the attacks. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed in their home on Saturday. Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo US President Donald Trump and US Attorney General Pam Bondi decried what they called 'horrific violence' and said perpetrators would be prosecuted to 'the fullest extent of the law.' The FBI offered a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the capture or conviction of Boelter. 'Targeted political violence' Walz called the shootings 'an act of targeted political violence.' 'Peaceful discourse is the foundation of our democracy. We don't settle our differences with violence or at gunpoint,' he said during a news conference. He later announced on X that Minnesota's flags will fly at half-staff in honor of Hortman. 'She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place,' the Democratic governor said. State official Evans said Hoffman – who was 'in stable condition' – and his wife were shot first, and as police investigated, Hortman and her husband were shot about 90 minutes later. The gunman was able to escape during an exchange of fire with officers near Hortman's residence. Advertisement Investigators work outside the home of Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.

Impersonating police In both attacks, authorities believe the assailant impersonated a law enforcement officer. An image of Boelter released by the FBI showed him wearing what appeared to be a latex mask, potentially an attempt to evade identification. Flyers for the anti-Trump protests planned for Minnesota, which part of Saturday's national wave of 'No Kings' demonstrations, were found in the suspect's car. A manifesto that named numerous politicians and state officials was also discovered, police said. The roommate of Boelter, David Carlson, told local TV affiliate KARE that he had received a text message from the suspect saying he was going to be gone for a while and 'may be dead shortly.' Authorities recommended that people do not attend political rallies across Minnesota 'out of an abundance of caution.' But footage from local TV stations showed huge crowds of protesters still turned out in state capital St Paul in a demonstration that doubled as a public mourning for Hortman. 'She fought for the people, she stood with people, she was a powerful political leader,' said Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison in a speech during the protest. 'Melissa proved that you could be a politician and be a good person.' Tensions were high across the country, and in Texas authorities said they evacuated the state capitol complex after a 'credible threat' towards lawmakers planning to attend a protest there. Melissa was a true public servant who dedicated her life building a better, safer Minnesota. This is a profound loss for all who loved Melissa and Mark, and for our nation. There will be more to say, but this much is clear: we must protect our democracy from those who try to… — Gabrielle Giffords (@GabbyGiffords) June 14, 2025 In Brooklyn Park, where Hortman lived, authorities searching for the suspect lifted a shelter-in-place order Saturday afternoon, saying that there was 'reason to believe he is no longer in the area.' The US has been deeply divided since Trump returned to the White House in January. The Republican president has drawn criticism from Democrats over his harsh immigration policy, his assault on universities and the media, and a perceived flouting of limits on executive power. Former US congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who survived a shooting to the head in 2011 and is now a prominent advocate for the prevention of gun violence, said she was 'devastated' by Hortman's death. 'We must protect our democracy from those who try to destroy it with a gun,' Giffords wrote on X. With reporting from © AFP 2025 Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

Thug who had hand blown off in ‘pipe-bomb' incident was violent gang member
Violent thug who had hand blown off in 'pipe-bomb' incident was member of gang that terrorised a mother and her three-year-old daughter This is the 35-year-old thug whose hand was blown off in an incident involving a suspected pipe-bomb in the early hours of Wednesday morning. A gruesome image of the horrific injuries sustained by career criminal Dean Fagan have circulated on WhatsApp and show how his hand was completely obliterated prior to his arrival at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin. In a statement, Gardaí confirmed they had 'attended the scene following report of an incident of criminal damage at a residential location in Coolock that occurred in the early hours of Wednesday.' The statement continued: 'A man, aged in his 30s, subsequently received treatment for serious injuries at Beaumont Hospital Dublin.' Gardaí are investigating whether the incident of criminal damage is linked to a low-level feud in which Fagan has become embroiled. Fagan, with an address on Kildare Road in Crumlin, is known to Gardaí as a prolific criminal, having clocked up more than 80 convictions over the past two decades. One of his most serious convictions dates back to 2017, when he was jailed for five years after he admitted being a member of a gang who terrorised a woman and her three-year-old daughter during a burglary in Co. Meath. During the ordeal which lasted over an hour, a knife was held to the woman's throat for several minutes, while a gun was later pointed at her head. Fagan pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated burglary in May 2014 at Irishtown, Rathfeigh, Co. Meath. He later admitted his involvement when fingerprints found on a piece of paper linked him to the crime. In 2016, Fagan received a six-year-sentence after a court heard how during a separate robbery, he was armed with a garden shears when he and an accomplice tied up a woman and destroyed her home looking for cash. Dean Fagan told the other man 'don't f*cking kill her' after this man hit the victim with a hammer while demanding cash. They had already taken €1,500 they had found in the sitting room of the house. They also told the woman they were in the Real IRA and that they had been responsible for burning her car out a month previously. The woman managed to escape through a back door and locked the intruders inside. Fagan was involved in another high-profile incident in which two sisters, Amy and Nicole Rice, were tied up and assaulted in Co. Kildare in 2015. Fagan later went on Dublin radio station 98FM and admitted to tying the girls up and to hitting them. Dean Fagan News in 90 Seconds - 15th June 2025 The sisters had come forward a month earlier to tell the story of how they were brutally attacked by two men they met on Facebook in a 20-hour ordeal in Newbridge. Fagan, who had almost 60 convictions for offences including possession of a firearm and criminal damage at that stage, called the station to claim that the incident did not happen as it was portrayed. Fagan told the radio station that he was fighting with a man who was known to the girls and this was why trouble had broken out. At the time, sources said that Fagan and his associate owed a debt to this other man. Despite admitting to hitting and tying up the girls, Fagan tried to claim they made up the story to get paid money from newspapers for their story. However, the girls did not receive any payment for their story. He went on to say that he attacked the girls because they wouldn't calm down. 'I had no choice but to do that [hit them a few slaps] it's a horrible thing to say. ' 'At this time, I was wanted. I had warrants for a separate thing,' he said. 'I am not saying I'm an angel in anyone's eyes. I've got convictions for some serious sh*t, but I didn't do this,' he added. 'When you go to jail, and people think you have done sh*t like this you get boiling water and p*ss thrown at you. And when you are on the wings people throw shapes at you. 'I couldn't throw them out and call the cops because I had warrants out for my arrest.' A month before his radio appearance, Fagan was convicted in his absence over an incident where he ploughed into a Garda patrol van and car after crashing into three other vehicles in traffic during a road rampage in west Dublin in August the previous year. The previous March he was convicted of possession of a stolen shotgun, ammunition, and other items. While in custody in Cloverhill Prison in October 2014, Fagan was the 'victim' of a hostage taking situation in his cell which led to a lockdown of the prison. Convicted murderer Ciaran Moran tied Fagan up and threatened to slit his throat. Moran had knocked Fagan unconscious before tying him up and cutting his head with a homemade bladed weapon or shiv. The hostage situation ended after 90 minutes when Moran walked out of the prison cell. At Moran's subsequent trial, at the conclusion of which the convicted killer received a three-year sentence, Garda Kevin Mullahy agreed that gardaí harboured some suspicions about the incident after counsel said there may have been some sort of collusion between the victim and Moran and that the incident was possibly connected with a claim against the State. Fagan remained in the care of doctors at Beaumont hospital yesterday where its understood he underwent surgery for his injuries to his hand. Gardai are continuing their investigations into the incident that cost him his hand early Wednesday. Anyone with information relating to the incident is asked to contact Coolock Garda Station on 01 6664200.

Close associate of Annie suspect led to his arrest
Gardai decided to arrest the chief suspect in the Annie McCarrick murder case after travelling to another jurisdiction to speak with a close associate of the man, has learned. It is understood the arrest came as detectives worked on the theory that the 26-year-old American student was murdered by a 'jealous' man known to her. The first arrest in the 32-year-old case also came after gardaí crosschecked statements made at the time Ms McCarrick vanished in March 1993 with statements taken over the last two years. These included statements from the close associate and others known to the chief suspect. Annie McCarrick. Pic: An Garda Síochána In March 2023, Extra revealed a person of 'significant interest' to detectives was identified and that this was the reason the case was being upgraded to a murder investigation at the time. The development came more than 30 years after Ms McCarrick's friends originally told gardaí that they were concerned about the man, who was well known to her. They were worried that the man had been harassing their friend before she suddenly vanished without a trace. Witness statements from the now chief suspect were taken at the time. However, reported sightings of the young woman deflected attention away from the man. Ms McCarrick was reported to have been seen in Enniskerry and in the nearby Johnnie Fox's pub. These sightings became a focus for investigating detectives over the following years. In 1998, gardaí established Operation Trace amid growing concerns over several cases involving women who had vanished in the east of the country. It was set up to determine if any of the cases of these missing women were linked and whether a serial killer was to blame. This line of enquiry brought gardaí even further away from their now chief suspect. However, in March 2023, the case was to be upgraded to a murder investigation. Gardai decided to arrest the chief suspect in the Annie McCarrick murder case after travelling to another jurisdiction to speak with a close associate of the man, has learned. By that stage, these previous reported 'sightings' had been all but discounted by the new investigation team that was being led by Superintendent Eddie Carroll. Garda attention moved back to Ms McCarrick's inner circle at the time and the now chief suspect was examined more closely. This man went on to lead a full life in the time that elapsed: he married, had children and was successful in business. But this past week − in the first major development in the case − he was arrested. Another significant development came this week when the suspect's former family home in Clondalkin, Dublin, was cordoned off. Heavy machinery was moved in and the cadaver dog, Fern, who found Tina Satchwell's body buried under the stairs of her family home, was brought in. Searches of the house, which was significantly renovated 10 years ago, were still going on yesterday. The current owners of the property have nothing to do with the case. The chief suspect was released without charge on Friday, and he is understood to have returned to his home. Gardaí confirmed the man's release in a statement. Unusually in these cases, the statement did not refer to a file being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions. Annie McCarrick. Pic: Collins Photos Sources with knowledge of the case wonder now whether, if detectives had focused more on Ms McCarrick's personal relationships − as is usually the case when a woman is murdered − the three-decade long case would have been solved long ago. Despite the passage of time, Ms McCarrick's family's lawyer, US-based Michael Griffith, told Extra this week that he has not lost faith in seeing justice done for Annie. He said he and the family now await the 'next developments' in the investigation. 'I'm a very optimistic lawyer. I hope that one day it will have been solved, and over the years I've gone to Ireland, I've got some friends there,' he said. 'I've made it my business to be interviewed by the gardaí, by the local press, to try to keep the embers burning and I'm delighted to know that there's been an arrest, although there is no conviction at this point, there's only an arrest. 'So let's see what the next developments will be.'
