Vance Luther Boelter, 57, is accused of murdering Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, while also attempting to kill another senator and his wife. The attacks occurred when Boelter posed as a police officer, marking a dangerous escalation in political violence. Authorities flagged the incident as part of a disturbing trend in recent years. Following his capture, Boelter faced severe charges, including a federal indictment with potential death penalty implications. The implications of this case extend beyond crime and into the realm of democratic safety.
Boelter stalked his victims like prey... He shot them in cold blood. Hortman's killing was a political assassination - a chilling attack on our democracy.
His crimes are the stuff of nightmares... the trend of political violence has been increasing in recent years and I hope it's a wake-up call for everyone.
