Suspect in Minnesota Shooting Linked to Security Company, Evangelical Ministry
Tess Owen Tim Marchman Leah Feiger Jun 14, 2025 3:49 PM The alleged shooter is a 57-year-old white male; according to his ministry's website, he 'sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer.' BROOKLYN PARK, MINNESOTA - JUNE 14: A Brooklyn Park police officer looks on as they guard the entrance to a neighborhood on June 14, 2025 in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. Photo:A man named Vance Boelter allegedly shot and killed Melissa Hortman, a Democratic Minnesota state representative, and her husband Mark Hortman at their home at some point early Saturday morning while, according to law enforcement, impersonating a police officer. He also allegedly shot state senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette Hoffman at their home. They are alive, but remain in critical condition. Law enforcement has said they found a manifesto and hit list in the alleged suspect's car, which included politicians, abortion providers, and pro-abortion rights advocates. There were also allegedly fliers in his car for the 'No Kings' protest against President Donald Trump, which took place in cities across the US on Saturday. The 57-year-old, who has been identified as the suspected shooter according to numerous reports, runs an armed security service with his wife, and has been affiliated with at least one evangelical organization, a ministry he has also run with his wife, according to a tax filing reviewed by WIRED. (His wife could not be immediately reached for comment.) According to public records and archived websites reviewed by WIRED, the suspect served for a time as the president of Revoformation Ministries. A version of the ministry's website captured in 2011 carries a biography in which he is said to have been ordained in 1993. According to an archived website for the ministry reviewed by WIRED, the suspected shooter's missionary work took him to Gaza and the West Bank during the Second Intifada, where, the website states, he 'sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer. ' A later version of the site was designed, according to an archived copy, by Israeli web design firm J-Town. Charlie Kalech, CEO of J-Town, tells WIRED that the alleged suspect was, in his recollection, 'clearly religious and evangelistic. He had lots of ideas to make the world a better place.' The suspect, whom Kalech said was 'nothing but nice to me,' commissioned J-Town, Kalech recalled, because they're Jerusalem-based, and he said he wanted to support Israel. A Facebook profile under the suspected shooter's name was briefly viewed by WIRED before it was taken down. His profile had shown him 'liking' several evangelical missionary organizations, as well as pages honoring Reinhard Bonnke, a German pentecostal evangelist known for missions in several African countries, and Smith Wigglesworth, a British evangelist who was influential in the pentecostal movement. He also 'liked' the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal advocacy organization known for its hardline stances against abortion and LGBTQ rights. The suspected shooter also appears to be the director of security patrols at Praetorian Guard Security Services, a security company run servicing the Minneapolis and St. Paul metro areas that he founded with his wife Jenny. The company advertises residential security patrols and uniformed security patrols. 'We only offer armed security. If you are looking for unarmed guards, please work with another service to meet your needs better,' states the 'red lines' section of the company's website. The website also states that their 'guards' wear the 'best personal protective equipment money can buy.' Officials say that the suspect in the shootings had an SUV kitted out with emergency lights, a badge, and a taser. Though it is not yet clear where the suspect obtained materials to allegedly impersonate a police officer, the Praetorian Guard Security Services website states that their guards 'drive the same make and model of vehicles that many police departments use in the US. Currently we drive Ford Explorer Utility Vehicles.' According to photographs from the scene, the car towed away by law enforcement was a Ford. The suspected shooter, according to his LinkedIn profile, is a veteran of the food industry, having worked for Johnsonville Sausage, Del Monte, and the British convenience food manufacturer Greencore; recently, he posted that he was looking to return to that sector. (The companies for which his profile says he worked did not immediately reply to requests for comment.) Over the previous several years, according to LinkedIn posts, he had focused on a role as CEO of Red Lion Group, which according to an archived copy of its website had aspirations in the oil refining, logging, and glass production sectors in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. His involvement in the food industry has also seemingly helped him build inroads to local government. In 2019, Minnesota governor Tim Walz appointed him to a Workforce Development Board in the capacity of a 'business and industry representative.' He also served as chair on the Dakota-Scott Workforce Development Board for over a decade, but resigned last year, according to a post on LinkedIn. Police officers in the Minneapolis suburb of Champlin say they were called at around 2 am to the residence of state senator Hoffman. At 3:35 am, police officers in nearby Brooklyn Park went to proactively check on Hortman's home. Police chief Mark Bruley said at a press conference that officers discovered an SUV appearing to resemble a squad police car with emergency lights parked in Hortman's driveway. Officers then encountered the alleged suspect, who they said was dressed like a police officer, wearing a police vest and a badge, and was armed with a taser. He immediately fired on them and then retreated back into Hortman's home. Officials believe he fled out the back of the residence. 'No question if they were in this room you would assume they are a police officer,' Bruley said. Twelve hours later, the shooting suspect is still believed to be at large. Hortman was first elected to Minnesota's house of representatives in 2004. She served as speaker of the house from 2019 to 2025, finishing her term this year after the state house successfully passed legislation on abortion rights, voting rights, criminal justice reform, marijuana legalization, and more. 'Our state lost a great leader and I lost the dearest of friends,' Walz said in a press conference on Saturday. 'Speaker Hortman was someone who served the people of Minnesota with grace, compassion, humor, and a sense of service. She was a formidable public servant, a fixture, and a giant in Minnesota. She woke up every day determined to make this state a better place. She is irreplaceable and will be missed by so many.' This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Lynx hold moment of silence in wake of Minnesota lawmaker's assassination
MINNEAPOLIS — Hours after politically-motivated shootings on Saturday left one Minnesota state lawmaker and her spouse dead and another and his wife injured, the Minnesota Lynx took the court for a home game against the Los Angeles Sparks that coach Cheryl Reeve said 'feels pretty meaningless.' The Lynx held a moment of silence before the game at the Target Center, located roughly 11 miles away from Brooklyn Park, a suburb of Minneapolis. It was there where Melissa Hortman, the top Democrat in the Minnesota State House who served as speaker from 2019 to 2025, and her husband, Mark, were assassinated in what law enforcement officials called 'an act of targeted political violence.' Advertisement Also on Saturday, Senator John Hoffman, who has served in the House since 2012, and his wife, Yvette, were shot by the same assailant multiple times in their home in Champlin, a suburb north of Brooklyn Park. A visibly shaken Reeve was asked before the game about preparing to play on a day when the city had been convulsed by violence. 'Hitting this close to home, obviously we know it's a really difficult time — not just in our country — but in the world,' said Reeves, who has been outspoken on a variety of social issues over the years and has led an organization that has not shied away from political involvement and protest. 'The radicalization that has occurred. I think it's very clear, the timing of when our country really started to turn. I think today is a tough day all around. 'Basketball is what we do, and we'll go out there and do what we do, but when our game is over, god knows what we're going to come off the court and learn. … It's sickening.' There were multiple 'No Kings' demonstrations planned across the Twin Cities on Saturday in protest of President Donald Trump. After Gov. Tim Walz warned residents not to attend the rallies until the suspect, who was identified as Vance Luther Boelter, was apprehended, the protests were officially cancelled. Dozens of protestors gathered on an I-35W overpass with signs and banners around 11 a.m. CT. The Minnesota Twins said in a statement they were 'horrified and heartbroken' about the shootings. The Minnesota Vikings called Hortman 'a friend of the Vikings for more than 15 years.' 'Our prayers are with the Hortman family as they grieve this tragedy and with all the government officials who are mourning the loss of a colleague and friend,' the Vikings said in a statement, later adding, 'These senseless acts should have no place in our communities, our state or our society.'

Police: Man shoots, kills Lowe's coworker
A Lowe's employee shot a fellow employee to death early Saturday morning, according to a criminal complaint. Christopher Wasnetsky, 36, of Dalton, is charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Lackawanna County District Attorney Brian Gallagher anticipates more charges to be filed following an autopsy scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday. According to the criminal complaint: Officers responded to Lowe's on Viewmont Drive in Scranton at 12:36 a.m. for the report of a shooting. Police found Jeff Moeller on the ground suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in a pool of blood amidst multiple gun casings. There was a semi-automatic handgun on the ground near a shopping cart located about 30 feet from the victim. The handgun appeared to be unloaded. There was a live round on the ground and the magazine next to the handgun. The handgun was found to be a Springfield 9mm handgun. Wasnetsky himself called in the shooting, stating, 'I'd like to report a shooting at the Dickson City Lowe's, I was the person that did it.' Officers transported Moeller to the Geisinger Community Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. Officers arrested Wasnetsky without incident and brought him back to the police department. During an interview he said Moeller had been harassing him and no one would do anything about it. Wasnetsky said he had approached Moeller while he was working on a machine and shot him in the chest without warning. He said Moeller fell to the ground and asked for help. Wasnetsky told police he didn't want him to suffer, so he shot him in the head and chest. This is a developing story. More information will be added as it becomes available.
