In search of 57 -year -old Vance Luther Boelter, accused of killing Democratic politician Melissa Hortman and her husband, comes to the second day.
A mass search in the United States is a man who claims to be a policeman and fatally shot the democratic state legislator in Minnesota, has become the second day, and the national governor calls it “politically motivated murder.”
The suspect, who was identified as 57 -year -old Vance Luther Boeler, was also thought to have shot and injured the second Democratic legislator and his wife, according to law enforcement officers and FBI.
A large -scale Manhunt came into his second day on Sunday after Boeler believed to kill former Minnesota House speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark at their home in Brooklyn Park, in the suburb of Minneapolis, on Saturday.
Boeler is also accused of shooting and wounding Senator John Hofman and his wife Yvette at home about 15 km (9 miles) in a nearby city in Schamplin.
The suspect refused a vehicle that looked like the police SUV, and after being dismissed at the police at Hortman’s home, the authorities said, adding that officers had found a “manifest” and target list with another politicians and institutions.
Belters should be considered armed and dangerous, and it is believed to be still in the Minneapolis-St Paul region, the Minnesota Criminal Office Superintendent Drew Evans told news briefing, adding that he was too soon to determine the motive.
The FBI issued up to $ 50,000 for the information that caused his arrest and conviction.
The former political appointed Boeler acted in the same National Labor Development Council as Hofman, although it is not clear whether they knew each other. The online resume describes him as a security contractor with experience in the Middle East and Africa, as well as previous management roles in Minnesota companies.
Minnesota official Associated Press told the news agency with an anonymous condition that Boelter’s articles have information aimed at significant legislators who have defended abortion rights.
According to Minnesota Star Tribune, Boelter sent texts to friends hours after the shootings, saying he “made some choices” and adding, “I would go for a while. May be dead soon, so I just want to tell you that I love both and I want it to not have gone this way … I apologize.”
“Stand against political violence”
Hortman, the mother of two children who had served for 20 years in the House of Representatives of the Minnesota, was remembered by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as a man with “grace, compassion and tirelessness”.
Walz, who was a Vice -President of Kamal Harris Democrats who ran last year’s presidential election, said the striker went to Hortman’s residence after being shot several times in Hofmann at home in a shamplin.
“We all have to fight for all kinds of political violence in Minnesota and across the country,” said Democrat Valz. He also commanded the flags to fly in the Hortman’s Hortman.
“Such horror violence will not be tolerated in the United States. God bless Minnesota great people, which is a truly great place!” President Donald Trump said in a statement.
The shooting took place at a time when political leaders across the country have attacked, intrusive and intimidated by deep political departments in the US.
In April, the suspect set fire to the home of the democratic Governor Josh Shapiro, forcing him and his family to flee during the Jewish festival during the Pashu Festival. The suspect said he was planning to beat Shapiro with a small sleigh hammer if he found him, according to court documents.
In July 2024, Trump on his ear grazed one of the bullet hazards, which killed one of his supporters. Two months later, a man was discovered and arrested near Trump’s Florida Golf Course with a rifle.
Other incidents own the 2022 hammer attack on the then -house Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband in their San Francisco home and the 2020 story by Anti -Covernent Hardliner to kidnap the Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and starts a civil war.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Shumer said he was asking the Capitol police to “immediately increase security” by Minnesota Democratic Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith.
