The list also targeted abortion providers and pro-abortion rights advocates, alongside other lawmakers across several states. Both Hortman and Hoffman were explicitly named, confirming they were deliberate targets in the early morning shootings on June 14.
Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley described the suspect, now revealed as Vance Boelter, as “clearly impersonating” a police officer, using a convincing uniform and vehicle to execute the attack. Governor Walz condemned the violence as “politically motivated,” noting the manifesto’s focus on progressive leaders. “This is an assault on our values and democracy itself,” Walz said in a statement.
The revelation of the manifesto has heightened fears of escalating political violence, particularly against progressive figures. Authorities have notified all individuals named in the document and increased security measures. The public is urged to remain vigilant and verify the identity of anyone claiming to be law enforcement.
As the manhunt continues, the attack has sparked renewed calls for addressing right-wing extremism and protecting elected officials. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Brooklyn Park Police Department.
