Vance Boelter, the 57-year-old man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses at their homes, allegedly had a hit list of prominent Democratic lawmakers in his SUV, an official told The Independent.
The alleged gunman remains on the run after fatally shooting state Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their Brooklyn Park home on Saturday morning, around 90 minutes after Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were also shot in their Chaplin home.
Now, an official who has seen a manifesto the suspect left behind in the suspects SUV told The Independent that it names prominent pro-choice individuals in Minnesota, including several Democratic lawmakers who are outspokenly pro-choice.
At a press conference on Saturday afternoon, officials did not indicate any motivation for the attacks.
