Vance Boelter, indicted for fatally shooting former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, confessed in a letter to the FBI. The letter also contained unfounded claims about Gov. Walz. Boelter faces murder, stalking, and firearms charges, with the potential for the death penalty. He also allegedly shot and wounded a state senator and his wife. Prosecutors found lists of politicians in Boelter's abandoned car, highlighting the scope of his planned attacks. A motive for the violence remains unclear, although Boelter's conservative views and past struggles are noted.
