In Minnesota, the man who fatally shot Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark in their home has received a sentence of two consecutive life terms plus 40 years in prison. A federal judge handed down the sentence on Thursday to 57-year-old Vance Boelter, a self-professed conservative evangelical Christian whose guilty plea helped him avoid a possible death sentence. He also pleaded guilty to shooting and wounding state Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette at their home during a violent rampage in June 2025, during which Boelter dressed as a police officer and modified his SUV to look like a police car. Investigators say Boelter left behind three assault rifles, a handgun and a hit list containing the names of dozens of people, including prominent Democrats and abortion providers and advocates.
