???????? Minnesota Lawmaker Melissa Hortman and Husband Murdered in Targeted Political Attack — Police Discover 70-Name Hit List and Manifesto

A chilling and politically motivated act of violence has left Minnesota and the nation reeling.

State Rep. Melissa Hortman, Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, and her husband Mark were brutally gunned down early Saturday morning in their Brooklyn Park home. Authorities have confirmed the attack was intentional and politically charged.

Suspect Still on the Run — Identity Confirmed

Law enforcement has identified Vance Luther Boelter, 57, as the man being sought in connection with the shooting. He was last seen wearing a large cowboy hat and is believed to be armed and extremely dangerous.

A manhunt is currently underway, with thousands of residents under a shelter-in-place order as the search intensifies.

Terrifying Discovery: 70-Name Hit List Found

Inside Boelter’s SUV, police uncovered a handwritten manifesto along with a hit list containing nearly 70 names, including:

  • Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
  • U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar
  • Pro-choice lawmakers and abortion providers
  • Activists and public officials across several states

Sources told CNN that investigators also found a Father’s Day card addressed to Boelter, buried in a bag of ammunition — further pointing to the disturbing level of planning.

Flyers for anti-government “No Kings” demonstrations were also found in the vehicle. Officials have warned the public to avoid such events “out of an abundance of caution.”

Second Assassination Attempt: State Senator Targeted

In addition to the fatal shooting of Rep. Hortman and her husband, Democratic State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot multiple times at their home in a separate but linked attack.

Thankfully, both survived after emergency surgery — with officials praising Yvette Hoffman for shielding their daughter during the chaos.

Reaction from Leaders: “Political Violence Has No Place Here”

Governor Tim Walz announced the deaths during a press conference, calling them “senseless acts of political violence.” He emphasized unity and condemned extremism in all forms.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump, marking his 79th birthday on Saturday, issued a statement saying he had spoken with Attorney General Pam Bondi and confirmed the FBI is now involved in the investigation.

“Anyone responsible for this heinous crime will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Trump said.

What’s Next: Manhunt Continues, Public Urged to Stay Vigilant

Law enforcement agencies across Minnesota and neighboring states are coordinating efforts to track down Boelter, with intelligence teams analyzing the manifesto and digital evidence.

Authorities urge anyone with information to contact local police immediately and stay indoors until further notice.

A State Mourns

Melissa Hortman was a prominent figure in Minnesota politics, serving as House Speaker and an advocate for reproductive rights, equity, and environmental protection.

The community and state officials have expressed deep sorrow at the tragic loss — a reminder of the growing threats elected leaders face nationwide.
