Update/Correction: The suspect's political motivations are still unknown. Whoever did this is a terrorist. Period. Apparently Boelter last regstered to vote as a Republican in 2022 despite working under Democrats. - FFA
From the NYT:
Law enforcement officials said they were searching for Vance Boelter, 57, in connection with the assassination of one Democratic state legislator in Minnesota and the attempted assassination of another on Saturday.
State, local and federal police have flooded the Minneapolis suburbs searching for Mr. Boelter, and for hours have asked residents near one of the crime scenes to shelter in place. Officials said a gunman impersonating a police officer killed Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, on Saturday morning and wounded Senator John A. Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in separate attacks at the lawmakers’ homes.
The authorities said an assailant shot at police officers as they arrived at one of the lawmakers’ homes. Chief Mark Bruley of the Brooklyn Park, Minn., police said a gunman’s vehicle contained a manifesto and a target list with names of individuals, including the two lawmakers who were shot.
“We must all, Minnesota and across the country, stand against all forms of political violence,” Gov. Tim Walz said.
