11 Wisconsin lawmakers named in manifesto of Minnesota gunman

WISCONSIN DELLS – Eleven Wisconsin lawmakers are named in a manifesto written by a gunman who killed a Democratic Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and shot another lawmaker and his wife, according to Democratic sources.

Wisconsin Democrats gathered June 14 at their annual convention under increased security after the two Democratic lawmakers in neighboring Minnesota were gunned down in their homes overnight.

Authorities say Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed and another lawmaker and his wife were injured at their homes by 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter, who was impersonating law enforcement in what Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called a “politically motivated assassination.” Hoffman and Hortman are both members of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.

Democratic sources told Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 11 Wisconsin lawmakers' names are on a manifesto police recovered in their search for Boelter. The group of Wisconsin lawmakers included eight women and three men, according to one source. All are Democrats.

(That last comment over the alleged murderer’s list of pro-choice people). Anti-choice is anti-human.
