THE man accused of fatally shooting a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband allegedly had a hit list with 70 names after being caught by police.

A 57-year-old named Vance Boelter is alleged to have shot and killed Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband at their residence on Saturday. Additionally, he is accused of wounding Senator John Hoffman and his wife in a separate incident.

While searching for the suspect, authorities discovered a fake police vehicle that Boelter reportedly used to impersonate a law enforcement officer during the attacks.

Police found an arsenal inside the car, including at least three AK-47 assault rifles, as well as a manifesto listing the names and addresses of additional public figures.

There were about 70 names in the manifesto, some of which were abortion rights advocates, said law enforcement officials.

Boelter was arrested near his home in Green Isle on Sunday night after a brief manhunt.

He has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree attempted murder, according to Hennepin County court records.

LIST OF DEATH

Named on the list were Senator Amy Klobuchar and “squad member” Rep. Ilhan Omar, reported The Minnesota Star Tribune.

Others include Congresswoman Kelly Morrison, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minnesota Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, and Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott.

Some doctors who worked for Planned Parenthood were on the list, as well as several abortion clinics, including one that is scheduled to open in Omaha, Nebraska.

Former congressman Dean Phillips claimed in an X post that he was on the list as well, writing, “I extend heartfelt gratitude to Minnesota’s law enforcement professionals,” after Boelter’s arrest.

“Now, we must take steps to prevent political violence before it’s too late.”

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans confirmed that investigators found the manifesto in a press briefing, saying the documents “gives some indications” on a possible motive.

“This is not a document that would be like a traditional manifesto that’s a treatise on all kinds of ideology and writings, Evans said.

He called it a notebook “with a lot of lawmakers and others … as opposed to a succinct document.”

“I don’t want the public to have the impression that there’s this long manifesto that’s providing all of this information and details and then associated with names,” he added. “It’s much more about names.”

NIGHT OF TERROR

Boelter was named as a suspect on June 14 after shootings were reported at the homes of Hortman and Hoffman.

Hortman and her husband, Mark, were pronounced dead at their Brooklyn Park home.

The couple’s dog, Gilbert, was severely injured in the attack and had to be euthanized.

“Her children had to put down him after learning their parents had been murdered, former Minnesota House member Erin Koegel said on X of Hortman’s children.

“Gilbert wasn’t going to survive.

Hoffman and his wife Yvette had surgery after suffering multiple gunshot wounds at their residence in Champlin, about nine miles away from the Hortmans.

Officials said they are “cautiously optimistic” that the pair will survive what Governor Tim Walz called an “unspeakable tragedy” and a “politically motivated assassination.”

The Hoffmans’ nephew revealed that the couple had been shot 11 times during the horror attack.

He shared in a Facebook post how his aunt Yvette had thrown herself on top of her daughter to protect her.

Boelter is scheduled to appear in court on Monday for the charges against him and a federal warrant for “unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.”

His other charges will soon be upgraded as the state “intends to pursue first-degree murder charges against Boelter,” said Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty at a news conference

The Department of Justice is also deciding to throw federal charges against Boelter, which, if convicted, could result in the death penalty.
