The man who allegedly gunned down a state lawmaker and her husband in Minnesota, and left another lawmaker and his wife wounded, visited at least two other homes on the night of his rampage, officials said on June 16.

Vance Boelter, dressed somewhat like a law enforcement officer, with a tactical vest and body armor along with a silicon mask, started early Saturday at the Champlin home of state Sen. John Hoffman, where he shot the couple, Joseph Thompson, Minnesota’s acting U.S. attorney, told a press conference on Monday.
