Not going to click on either link. Just tell me whether or not there’s any mention of him having ties to Tampon Tim.

I’d wait until we see a reliable news source. Thus far, I’ve seen CNN and a host of like groups repeat the exact same lede. Ergo, I’d wait, rather than get poorly thought out, and most probably misleading drivel sourced by folks who really should go back and do high school again...a REAL high school.

Jenny aka Jennifer Boelter is his wife. It’s a family affair (sorry Sly).

I guess they forgot to mention that he was a Tim Walz appointee.

Appointed to “Workforce Development Board” by Timmy in ‘19 and earlier by Gov. Dayton in ‘16.

Walz and Omar were on his “hit list”, supposedly.

Stay tuned, should know more in another day or so if he’s not caught soon.

First reports are sketchy, bits and pieces of info, I trust nothing.

Jenny aka Jennifer Boelter is his wife.

And RummyChick posted a screenshot on another thread that showed that Jennifer was an intern for Tim Walz back in 2010.

So both husband and wife have connections to Tampon Tim.

His biography on one site says that he “has been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.”

Yes, he supposedly ran an armed security outfit, which would explain the SUV looking like a cop car.

The FIRST reports were talking about TWO shooters, but who knows.

How far can a 57 year old male go on foot dressed like a LEO before fatigue sets in and he has to find someplace to hide and get some rest?

... I find it strange that the media is not reporting that Vance Boulter was actually appointed by Tim Walz in 2019 to the "GOVERNOR'S WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD." His term expired in 2023 ....

If he’s a security cop in league with others in this attack they could have arranged places to hideout

He got away far enough that he changed clothes and put on a cowboy hat, he was photographed near Minneapolis 20 miles away.
