Heavily armed and dressed in tactical armor with a silicone mask hiding his face and a police-style badge, Vance Boelter made a convincing police officer – so much so that a real police officer mistook him for a fellow cop.
He wounded Sen. John Hoffman and his wife but didn’t come into contact with the two other DFL legislators, investigators say.
There are chilling new details about Vance Boelter’s attack on Minnesota lawmakers and their families. A new timeline of events reveals the 57-year-old tried to do even more damage. Federal prosecutors say he stopped at the homes of four lawmakers early Saturday morning with the intent to kill them.
New details about Vance Boelter, accused of fatally shooting a state lawmaker and her husband, were revealed in court documents.
Earlier that morning, court documents state Boelter also traveled to the home of Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, where he shot them a total of 19 times. He also made the trek to two other lawmakers’ homes, allegedly with the intent to kill them, but they were not at home.
