Minnesota state Sen. John Hoffman (D) and his wife, Yvette, who were both shot in their home by the suspect who is believed to have later killed state Rep. Melissa Hortman (D) and her husband, Mark, in a “politically motivated assassination” on Saturday, shared an update on their condition, noting they were “both incredibly lucky to be alive.”

In the hours after the weekend shooting spree targeting Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, information was still just trickling out.

Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) canceled her Michigan town hall with voters after her name appeared on a list belonging to Minnesota murder suspect Vance Boelter.

U.S. Rep. Joyce Beatty, a Columbus Democrat, said her name was found on the materials of the man accused of shooting 2 Minnesota Democratic lawmakers.

In mid-June 2025, a rumor began to spread that Vance Boelter, the accused shooter of two Minnesota Democratic state lawmakers and their spouses on June 14, had once been appointed a member of the Governor's Workforce Development Board by Democratic Gov. Tim Walz. One of the targeted couples died.
