Prosecutor Says Minnesota Suspect Went to 4 Homes to Kill Lawmakers
Newsmax ^ | June 16, 2025 | AP

The man accused of killing a Minnesota lawmaker 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 lawmakers wasn't home, and the suspect left the other house after police arrived, said acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson.

Vance Boelter surrendered to police Sunday after they found him in the woods near his home following a massive manhunt that began early Saturday near Minneapolis.

"Boelter planned his attack carefully" by researching his intended victims and their families and conducting surveillance of their homes and taking notes, Thompson 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 state's history.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said at a news conference Monday that she plans to file first-degree murder charges against Boelter. The maximum penalty upon conviction of first-degree murder is life imprisonment without parole in Minnesota, which is not a death penalty state.

No death penalty for a crime that should result in execution.

He seems to be targeting Democrats regardless of their voting record on recent bills.

There’s still more info to come here.

As much as we’d like to blame it on a deranged Leftist, there are at least a few signs pointing to this guy being a Trump voter and an adamant pro-lifer.

He was appointed to a state board by two Democrat Governors but in the past it has not been uncommon for a Governor to nominate someone to a state board who is not a member of their own party.

There’s a lot of weirdness to be resolved yet. But be rest assured, the Democrats in this state are already advocating for “common sense” gun safety laws. These people never stop thinking about politics. It’s a 24/7/365 thing for them.

“”No death penalty for a crime that should result in execution.”””

He is being charged in Federal court. They can fry him.

So he went to four different houses.

"But one of the other lawmakers wasn't home, and the suspect left the other house after police arrived, said acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson."

Whose house was it that he left from when police arrived?

At whose house did he leave his vehicle and flee on foot? It's a bit confusing, since the article also says:

"The manhunt began when Brooklyn Park officers went to check on Hortman's home and saw her husband gunned down before the shooter fled."

The article doesn't specify if he went to the other two houses first, or in what order he went to them.

Maybe it has to do with recent court rulings or work contracts.

There are varying opinions as to the exact meaning of the hard copy list of names and organizations the assassin wrote, and the small differences in obeying or disobeying Trump Administration changes in law.

Much about the "List" is not fully understood.

"Boelter planned his attack carefully"

Meaning it was pre-meditated, 1st degree murder.

Will Minnesota Commie DAs plea-bargain it down to "intent to bodily harm"?!?

Agreed, confusing and difficult to read and understand.

Associated Presstitutes COULD have written the article in a Timeline manner, first incident to last, with details at each incident.

They chose to bounce back and forth.

I'm talking about the homes he actually showed up at.

I hope Trump Loyal Feds have taken control of all parts of the investigation.

Who knows if he is actually a Trump supporter. But I think it's pretty clear he's not a "pro-lifer". He murdered people. If he thinks he's a pro-lifer, he has a deranged understanding of the term.

If you’ve been following this story in any detail, you know what those signs area.

As to their accuracy or truthfulness, I’m not speculating on anything.

That’s why we need to sit back and see where this goes.

Yes, one of the victims actually shot was not on the List at all.

Regarding the AP writing, please see my post #11.

are you kidding? would you kill one man to spare the lives of 1000 babies? how about 100 babies? or even 10?

would you execute an abortion doctor if it means he would not kill again?

I have a lot to live for, therefore I’m too cowardly to kill for real even if I have a big mouth online. it only takes one deranged misguided person to do something foolish.

there are plenty of eric rudophs in the world and endless abortion doctors to kill.
