Minnesota Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman’s residence in Brooklyn Park, the site of a fatal targeted shooting over the weekend, was broken into on Tuesday night. Initial investigations indicate that nothing seemed to be missing.

As reported by FOX 9 in Minneapolis, the Brooklyn Park Police Department began investigating the nighttime intrusion following a notification that came in around 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

Initial findings suggest that the intruder gained access to the back of the home by dislodging a piece of plywood and breaking a window.

Although the house showed evidence it had been searched, the station reported, family members told police it did not appear anything was missing.

Hortman and her husband were shot and killed on Saturday morning, as were State Sen. John Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette, in their nearby Champlin home.

Vance Luther Boelter, 57, has since been charged with killing all four victims.

U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson said Monday that Boelter’s primary motive was “to go out and murder people” as authorities announced the suspect’s capture on Monday after a two-day manhunt. 

Boelter now faces federal charges after officials arrested him in Sibley County on Sunday night. He is charged with two counts of stalking, two counts of murder and two counts of firearm-related crimes. Boelter is also facing second-degree murder charges filed in Hennepin County.
