United States: A chilling tableau of terror unraveled in the heart of Minnesota as Vance Boelter, 57, orchestrated a grim ballet of violence targeting state leaders. Acting US Attorney Joseph Thompson did not mince words, describing the calculated executions as “predatory” and “ice-veined,” equating Boelter’s acts to twisted nightmares turned flesh.
Accused of the brutal slaying of Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and the wounding of Sen. John Hoffman and wife Yvette, Boelter is painted not as an unstable actor but as a deliberate hunter. His charges stretch across both federal and state lines—ranging from stalking and weapon violations to first-degree murder.
Boelter's capture came after a sweeping two-day pursuit that included aerial drones and SWAT detachments. He was found armed in the rural dusk but apprehended without chaos. Authorities discovered grim contents in his vehicle: a trove of notebooks bearing the names of 45 public servants—targets scribbled in cold ink. Surveillance notes detailed home layouts and schedules like blueprints for horror.
The sequence of attacks began in Champlin, where Boelter allegedly masqueraded as a lawman. With sirens flashing and a “POLICE” tag on his SUV, he approached Hoffman’s house in tactical gear, wearing a hyper-lifelike silicone mask. Video reveals his ruse: shouting "This is the police!" while brandishing a 9mm Beretta and flashlight.
