Minnesota assassination suspect Vance Boelter on the run; had dozens of Democrats on list, sources say
Authorities said they've identified 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter as a suspect as they search for the gunman who allegedly shot and killed a state representative and shot and wounded a state senator in a targeted act of violence early Saturday. Authorities said they're still investigating if Boelter knew the victims in Saturday's shooting: State Rep. Melissa Hortman and State Sen. John Hoffman. "There's certainly some overlap with some, you know, public meetings, I will say, with Sen. Hoffman and the individual," authorities said. Police released this photo of Boelter taken on Saturday. It is believed that the third photo in this wanted poster shows the suspect at one of the lawmakers' homes. Authorities said the suspect was impersonating a police officer. Police believe that when the shooter opened fire, he was wearing a latex mask that looked realistic, sources said. Dozens of Minnesota Democrats were on a target list written by the gunman, according to law enforcement sources. Those on the list included Gov. Tim Walz, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, U.S. Sen. Tina Smith and state Attorney General Keith Ellison, according to law enforcement sources familiar with the matter. Police said the list -- which was retrieved from the suspect's vehicle -- also named Hortman and Hoffman. Both victims are Democrats and Hortman was formerly the Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives. The shooter's list of potential targets also included the names of abortion providers and pro-choice activists, several sources told ABC News. Many of the Democratic lawmakers on the list have been outspoken about pro-choice policy positions, two sources said. Security resources have been dispatched to protect those people named on the list, authorities said. The Capitol Police said it's "working with our federal, state and local partners." The shootings began around 2 a.m. Saturday when Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were both shot multiple times at their home in Champlin, Minnesota, authorities said. "We're cautiously optimistic they will survive this assassination attempt," Walz said at a news conference. After Hoffman was shot, officers headed to pro-actively check on Hortman, who lived in the nearby town of Brooklyn Park, police said. Around 3:35 a.m., the officers found the suspect -- dressed as a police officer -- coming out of Hortman's house, police said. The suspect fired at the officers; gunfire was exchanged and the suspect was able to escape and flee on foot, authorities said. Hortman and her husband, Mark, were both found fatally shot at the house, police said. The suspect's vehicle -- which looked like a police vehicle, including police lights -- was in Hortman's driveway, authorities said, and the list of potential targets was found inside the car. Walz said in a statement, "We are not a country that settles our differences at gunpoint. We have demonstrated again and again in our state that it is possible to peacefully disagree, that out state is strengthened by civil public debate. We must stand united against all forms of violence." "We will spare no resource in bringing those responsible to justice," he added. A shelter in place order has been lifted for Brooklyn Park. Local leaders said, even though the suspect remains at large, "there is reason to believe he is no longer in the area." But Walz warned that Minnesotans should not attend any political rallies in the state until the suspect is caught. Fliers that said "No kings" were found in the suspect's car, authorities said. Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held across the U.S. on Saturday to protest Trump's administration and to counterprogram the military parade in Washington, D.C.
