Accused killer of Minnesota lawmakers teases 'important details' in letter during jailhouse interview
Share this @internewscast.com

The individual charged with the fatal shooting of a Minnesota legislator and her spouse in what is believed to be a politically driven attack is now addressing the supposed murders in a jail interview, aiming to dismiss specific theories about the motives behind the incidents.

Last week, while communicating with the New York Post from Sherburne County Jail, Vance Boelter stated, “You are fishing and I can’t talk about my case. I’ll say it didn’t involve either the Trump stuff or pro-life.”

The 57-year-old is accused of killing former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their home in Brooklyn Park, Minneapolis, on June 14. Additionally, he faces accusations of wounding state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, at their residence in nearby Champlin.

“We are absolutely shocked, heartbroken and completely blindsided,” the statement said. “This violence does not at all align with our beliefs as a family. It is a betrayal of everything we hold true as tenets of our Christian faith. We are appalled and horrified by what occurred and our hearts are incredibly heavy for the victims of this unfathomable tragedy.”

During Boelter’s interview, he also referenced his Christian faith while discussing his sentiments toward the victims and their loved ones. 

“You can maybe ask if somebody believes that, and they love God and that they love their neighbor – allegedly – how could they be involved in a situation where some people are no longer here that were here before?” Boelter asked, adding, “I’ll let you chew on that one.” 

Boelter is charged with four felony counts of second-degree murder with intent (not premeditated) and faces a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison for each count. His bail was set at $5 million. 

Boelter’s attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
