A federal grand jury indicted a man on July 15 who is accused of shooting and killing former Minnesota state House Speaker Melissa Hortman (D) and her husband, and wounding a state senator and his wife.
Vance Boelter’s indictment includes murder, stalking, and firearms charges in a series of alleged attacks where he is accused of disguising himself as a police officer. The murder charges related to the deaths of Hortman and her husband, Mark, could result in the federal death penalty.
