Minnesota Politician Slain in Multi-State Targeted Attack
Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were fatally shot in their home in a politically motivated attack by Vance Boelter, who also wounded State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Boelter, who managed a private security firm, targeted multiple Democratic officials across several states and was apprehended after a two-day manhunt. Authorities discovered a 'hit list' of 45 elected officials, including individuals from Texas and Wisconsin, prompting nationwide calls for increased security for public officials. Boelter faces both federal and state charges, including murder and attempted murder. The shootings have intensified concern about the rise in politically motivated violence in the United States, drawing condemnation from leaders of both parties. The Hortman children expressed devastation at their loss and thanked law enforcement for their swift response.
