Vance L. Boelter, 57, the prime suspect in the targeted shootings of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, and Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, sent a chilling text around 6 a.m. Saturday to his longtime roommate: “I love you guys… I may be dead shortly… I’m sorry for all the trouble.” Alarmed, the roommate alerted authorities. Boelter, who once worked under governors Walz and Dayton, had struggled financially despite multiple ventures. He voted for Trump and held anti‑abortion views, though friends say politics “wasn’t the thing that defined him.” He is still at large, considered armed and dangerous. A $50,000 FBI reward has been offered for information. (PC: The New York Times)
