A former appointee of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is being sought by police in connection with the fatal shooting of a state lawmaker, according to reports.
Police are searching for Vance Luther Boelter, 57, who was appointed by Walz in 2019 to serve a four year stint on the Governor’s Workforce Development Board, sources told The New York Post.
It comes after an assailant is thought to have impersonated a police officer when they entered the Champlin residence of Senator John Hoffman and his wife early Saturday, shooting both and leaving them critically injured.
The shooter then proceeded to the home of former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman, where she and her husband were fatally shot.
Local police, sheriff's deputies, and the FBI have launched an extensive manhunt.
During a Saturday morning press conference, officials said they are investigating the possibility of multiple shooters, however no one is in custody.
Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley said the suspect's vehicle contained a 'manifesto' and a list of targets, including both lawmakers, according to The New York Times.
The first shooting occurred just after 2am at Hoffman's home in Champlin, about 20 miles from Minneapolis. Hoffman and his wife were shot multiple times, KSTP reported.

Those peaceful DemonRats....
Soon to drop from the headlines.
Democrats are like unstable isotopes.
Eventually they just go off.
Walz needs to be Gitmo’d as a domestic terrorist supporter.
Female?
They are looking for a 57 year old man. Not a 40 year old former intern.
Or are you suggesting a political connection?
yes, husband and wife associated with Walz
Oh. I thought the dude had cut his unit off.
Wait … are you saying?!?!?
you will have to verify the connection between all three parties
i am showing you another person with the same last name associated with walz.. twitter saying husband and wife but i dont know.
I was just wondering why you would post that? No worries.
The former intern was 40 years old fifteen years ago. She is also the wife of the alleged shooter. The fact that she was a Walz intern is pertinent.
That is the information I was asking about. Thanks.
I wonder if he got USAID money?
