SUMMARY: Federal prosecutors charged Vance Boelter, 57, with murder and stalking after he allegedly shot and killed former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and wounded state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife. Authorities say Boelter visited other officials’ homes and left behind notebooks listing over 45 targets. Found in his abandoned SUV were five guns and ammo; a Beretta handgun and facemask were recovered nearby. He texted his family about going “to war” before being arrested Sunday. Prosecutors may pursue the death penalty. Officials described the attack as a calculated assault on public servants and a “nightmare.”
