Manhunt for Vance Boelter Escalates After Deadly Attacks on Minnesota Lawmakers
On June 14, 2025, Vance Boelter allegedly carried out politically motivated shootings targeting Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, killing State Rep. Melissa Hortman and critically injuring others. Boelter, a 57-year-old former security trainer and Trump supporter, impersonated law enforcement during the attacks and left behind a manifesto with dozens of targets. His wife was detained with weapons and survival supplies, while Boelter remains at large, prompting a statewide manhunt led by the FBI and BCA. The incident has sparked national debate over rising political extremism, with authorities warning Boelter is armed and extremely dangerous. Investigators found his car 60 miles from the crime scene, intensifying fears of continued violence. The case has reignited concerns about domestic terrorism, particularly from ideologically motivated actors. Officials are urging the public to remain vigilant and report sightings immediately. The manhunt is still ongoing as of June 15.
