Minnesota ‘assassin' found with ‘hit-list' of 70 names & addresses including Squad member Ilhan Omar and Jeff Bezos' ex'
THE man accused of fatally shooting a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband allegedly had a hit list with 70 names after being caught by police. Vance Boelter, 57, is accused of shooting and killing Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband at their home on Saturday, along with injuring Senator John Hoffman and his wife in another shooting. 9 9 9 9 9 During the search for the suspect, investigators found a fake police vehicle that Boelter allegedly used to pose as a police officer to carry out the shootings. Inside the car, police found a cache of weapons, including at least three AK-47 assault rifles and a manifesto with the names and addresses of other public officials. There were about 70 names in the manifesto, some of which were abortion rights advocates, said law enforcement officials. Boelter was arrested near his home in Green Isle on Sunday night after a brief manhunt. He has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree attempted murder, according to Hennepin County court records. LIST OF DEATH Named on the list were Senator Amy Klobuchar and "squad member" Rep. Ilhan Omar, reported The Minnesota Star Tribune. Others include Congresswoman Kelly Morrison, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minnesota Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, and Jeff Bezos' ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott. Some doctors who worked for Planned Parenthood were on the list, as well as several abortion clinics, including one that is scheduled to open in Omaha, Nebraska. Former congressman Dean Phillips claimed in an X post that he was on the list as well, writing, "I extend heartfelt gratitude to Minnesota's law enforcement professionals," after Boelter's arrest. "Now, we must take steps to prevent political violence before it's too late." Vance Boelter's car found as cops continue to hunt for 'fake cop' suspect who 'shot dead Melissa Hortman' in Minnesota The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans confirmed that investigators found the manifesto in a press briefing, saying the documents "gives some indications" on a possible motive. "This is not a document that would be like a traditional manifesto that's a treatise on all kinds of ideology and writings, Evans said. He called it a notebook "with a lot of lawmakers and others ... as opposed to a succinct document." "I don't want the public to have the impression that there's this long manifesto that's providing all of this information and details and then associated with names," he added. "It's much more about names." NIGHT OF TERROR Boelter was named as a suspect on June 14 after of Hortman and Hoffman. Hortman and her husband, Mark, were pronounced dead at their Brooklyn Park home.

Suspect in Minnesota lawmaker killing visited other legislators' homes, say authorities
A man accused of dressing up as a police officer and shooting two Minnesota state lawmakers in their homes – killing one and her husband – also showed up at the houses of two other legislators the same night intending to assassinate them too, authorities revealed on Monday. Vance Luther Boelter, 57, was captured on Sunday night after a major two-day manhunt and charged by state prosecutors with the second-degree murder of Democratic representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their residence in Brooklyn Park early on Saturday. He was also charged with the attempted murder of state senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, at their home in Champlin. Boelter was set to make an initial appearance before a district court judge in St Paul on Monday afternoon after officials announced a separate 20-page federal indictment, which could include the death penalty for Hortman's murder, at a late-morning press conference. The acting US attorney for the district of Minnesota, Joe Thompson, told reporters that as well as the early-hours attacks on the Hortman and Hoffman residences, Boelter was spotted at the homes of two other unnamed lawmakers, one a state representative, the other a state senator, in a 'planned campaign of stalking and violence'. At one of the properties, nobody was home, he said. At the other, he was confronted by a police officer who was called to make a wellness check, and fled the scene. 'It is no exaggeration to say that his crimes are the stuff of nightmares,' Thompson said. 'Boelter stalked his victims like prey. He went to their homes, held himself out as a police officer, and shot them in cold blood.' Hortman's killing, at the final house he visited, 'was a political assassination', he added. 'It's a chilling attack on our democracy, on our way of life. The trend [of political violence] has been increasing over recent years and I hope it's a wake-up call to everyone that people can disagree with you without being evil, without [anybody] needing to be killed for it.' Thompson gave a timeline of Boelter's alleged spree, which began at the Hoffmans' home. Arriving in a black SUV disguised to look like a police vehicle, and wearing a 'hyper-realistic latex mask', Boelter knocked on their door claiming to be a police officer, and shot them both repeatedly after they opened the door and realized he was not who he claimed to be. Both remain in hospital in serious condition but are expected to survive. Next, Thompson said, Boelter drove to the home of a Minnesota state representative in Maple Grove, where a doorbell camera captured him at 2.24am. She was on vacation, and he left. From there, he traveled to the home of a state senator, arriving at about 2.36am. An officer from the New Hope police department arrived to find Boelter's vehicle parked a short distance away with lights on. Thompson said she assumed he was a fellow officer already there in response to the Hoffman shooting – but when she wound down her window to speak to him, Boelter did not respond, and 'just sat there and stared straight ahead', Thompson said. She retreated to the senator's home to await the arrival of colleagues, who arrived to find him gone. Finally, Thompson said, he drove to the Hortmans' home in Brooklyn Park. Officers arrived at about 3.30am to find him standing on the porch – and when they got out of their vehicles, he began firing at them, forced his way into the house and shot and killed Hortman and her husband, then fled on foot.

He researched his victims and their families,' Thompson said. 'He used the internet and other tools to find their addresses and names, the names of the family members. He conducted surveillance of their homes and took notes about the location of their homes.' He said he could not speculate on a motive, but said investigators found 'dozens and dozens of names on hundreds of pages of documents' in the vehicle retrieved at the Hortman residence. All the elected officials targeted were Democrats, Thompson said. The writings and list of names are believed to include prominent state and federal lawmakers and community leaders, along with abortion rights advocates and information about healthcare facilities. An FBI affidavit states that after the shootings Boelter used cash to purchase a vehicle from a stranger, which he drove to Green Isle, about an hour west of Minneapolis, where a police officer reported seeing him run into woodland. Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley said about 20 different tactical teams searched inside a perimeter for him and he was located after an hours-long operation that included a helicopter. When Boelter was found, Bruley said, he crawled out of the woods after 'a short period of negotiation' and was taken into custody in a field. In the vehicle there, police allegedly found a handwritten confession, while a search of his wife's car yielded two handguns, passports and $10,000 in cash, the affidavit said. It states that Boelter texted his wife: 'Words are not gonna explain how sorry I am for this situation. There's gonna be some people coming to the house armed and trigger-happy and I don't want you guys around.' The superintendent of Minnesota's bureau of criminal apprehension, Drew Evans, told a Sunday news conference that authorities interviewed Boelter's wife and other family members in connection with Saturday's shootings and that they were cooperative and not in custody.

Alleged gunman went to homes of two other intended targets, police say
The man accused of killing a politician and wounding another went to the homes of two other lawmakers to carry out more carnage on the night of the shootings, a federal prosecutor said. But one of the other politicians was not home and the suspect left the other house after police arrived, acting US Attorney Joseph Thompson said at a press conference on Monday. Advertisement The suspect, Vance Boelter, surrendered to police on Sunday after they found him in the woods near his home following a massive manhunt that began early on Saturday near Minneapolis. He is accused of posing as a police officer and fatally shooting former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home early Saturday in the northern Minneapolis suburbs. Authorities say he also shot senator John Hoffman, a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette. They were injured at their residence about nine miles away. The 57-year-old Boelter was charged with federal murder and stalking offenses. He already faces state charges, including murder and attempted murder. Advertisement 'Boelter planned his attack carefully' by researching his intended victims and their families and conducting surveillance of their homes and taking notes, Mr Thompson said. Though the targets were Democrats and elected officials, Mr Thompson said it was too soon to speculate on any sort of political ideology that could explain his motives. Law enforcement officers investigate the home of shooting suspect Vance Boelter in Green Isle, Minnesota (George Walker IV/AP) Mr Thompson said it was too early to say if the Justice Department would seek the death penalty but noted that that was among the options available to the government based on the charges. The counts charged in the criminal complaint could be amended by prosecutors as they pursue a grand jury indictment as a prerequisite for bringing the case to trial. Advertisement Authorities declined to name the two other elected officials whom Boelter allegedly stalked but who escaped harm. But it was clear the shootings were politically motivated, they said. 'This was a targeted attack against individuals who answered the call to public service,' said Alvin Winston, the special agent in charge of the FBI's Minneapolis field office. The resulting search, he said, was the largest manhunt in the history of Minnesota. Boelter's wife consented to a search of her phone by law enforcement, according to an FBI affidavit that cites from a text from Boelter to a family group chat: 'Dad went to war last night … I don't wanna say more because I don't wanna implicate anybody.' Advertisement Earlier, the search for Boelter was the 'largest manhunt in the state's history,' Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley said.
