Governor Walz also confirmed that DFL (DFL stands for the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, which is the Minnesota state affiliate of the Democratic Party.) State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were also shot multiple times at their home in Champlin. A nephew of the couple said on social media that they were each shot five or six times.
The pair underwent surgery at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, and Walz said he was “cautiously optimistic” about their survival.
"Vance Boelter was arrested last night for the murder of Minnesota state Speaker of the House and her husband Saturday morning, and seriously wounding a Minnesota state senator and his wife.”

He was surrounded last night, crawled out of the woods and is in jail in Minneapolis. From what I gather, a strange person, failing at most things he tried - from preaching in Africa to founding a security business that had no customer. He lived with 2 other men (who were understandably shocked) and had a wife in kids in Sibley County where he was captured. MN laws are relatively lenient. He could be charged by the Federal system as well which is interesting considering the condition of that these days.
Ah, new martyrs for the cause of revolution!
Victims deserve JUSTICE!
gtfu!
Looks like the killer has some MAGA genes from Kristi Noem after it was reported he also shot Melissa Hortman’s dog.
Pretty disgusting folks.
Also, we are still waiting for our president to call publicly for an end to all political violence. No physical fights, no killings, no bombings, no car rammings, no kidnappings, no attacking police officers, no encouraging physical violence of any kind in service of political goals.
None.
I checked with Co-pilot and it said Trump has called for an end to violence.
Of course personally I think that means squat. Given tRump incited violence on J6 2021 and on many other occasions has used aggressive threatening rhetoric when he was passed.
My moto... believe nothing tRump says because he absolutely is a pathological liar.
The man who shot Democrats in Minnesota and planned to kill pro-choice activists had been a registered Republican when he lived in Oklahoma, viewed "abortion as murder," had attended Trump rallies and voted for Trump. He was a MAGA terrorist. Corporate media should be calling him that.
Great myth making! Especially for a party responsible for over 50 million dead babies. They're the victims... @@
You know you've got no good arguments to counter the mess, the unrest, and the chaos that Trump causes when all you can do is bring up abortion.
Sorry, mate, that doesn't work here. And I will NOT publish anything you post on this thread about dead babies propaganda.
Cry harder.
In the news...
-President Trump's son spread false rumors that the Minnesota shooting suspect was a Democrat in an effort to paint his dad's political opponents as violent.
-Hours after House DFL Leader Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were wounded, top MAGA voices used those revelations to inaccurately paint Boelter as a Democrat.
-GOP Senator Mike Lee posted an FBI image of the suspect wearing a face mask and posing as a police officer Sunday with the caption, "This is what happens [w]hen Marxists don't get their way." In another post, he shared a photo of the suspect with the caption "Nightmare on Waltz [sic] Street." He shared his "guess" that the suspect is "not MAGA." In another post, Lee wrote, "Marxism is a deadly mental illness" and shared an X post calling the suspect a "Tim Walz appointee" with 'No Kings' flyers in his car."
-GOP Senator. Bernie Moreno of Ohio, sharing the image of papers with the words "No Kings," and wrote Saturday, "The degree to which the extreme left has become radical, violent, and intolerant is both stunning and terrifying."
-Elon Musk, sharing a post that claimed "the left" was responsible for the Minnesota shootings and a string of other crimes, wrote, "The far left is murderously violent."
-Right-wing commentator Benny Johnson described Boelter as a "Tim Walz associate."
-Far-right activist Laura Loomer claimed Walz was "friends" with the suspect and called for the governor to be "detained by the FBI and interrogated."
All of these statements are false. And while yes, the killer did have No Kings rally info in his car, we now know it was for targeting reasons.
The simple facts are as follows... according to his friends, family and those who knew him best, Vance Boelter held conservative political views and was a "strong supporter" of President Trump.
I've yet to see any of our conservative commenters offer a cogent argument that Boelter was not a MAGA fan, or explain why when they get angry over politics, MAGA folks choose to kill people.
We live in a nation in which nearly 1/2 of the voting population prefers ignorance, lies, and delusion to truth, integrity, and decency.
Trump, the insurrectionist Felon is the ring leader but he has millions of followers who worship his every word and illegal actions.
Seems obvious - his kill list was all Democrats. He hated and it grew until he
turned into a raging SOB, Even Republicans don't shoot unarmed women five times. In the old days he would be hanged. In Idaho he would face a firing squad. In Hell, who knows?
BB... in Idaho today? GOP MAGA Idaho? I bet there'd be a lot of folks celebrating him.
