Alleged Minnesota Lawmaker Shooter Seemingly Clarifies Motive in New Interview

The man accused of murdering a Minnesota politician and seriously injuring another has given an unexpected glimpse into his motive in a new interview from prison.

Vance Boelter — the man charged with killing former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Markand shooting State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette — spoke to the New York Post in his first public comments since his arrest.

If you don’t know … top lawmakers have accused Boelter of committing the shootings for political reasons — but, he says that’s just not accurate.

Boelter promises more information will come out about the two years leading up to the shootings … “If the gov ever let’s (sic) it get out.”

It sounds like Boelter’s hinting at a larger conspiracy that led him to allegedly drive across Minneapolis and commit the two shootings at the politicians’ homes. As you know … Boelter is suspected of dressing up as a police officer to get Hortman and Hoffman to open their doors before shooting them.

The shootings sparked a manhunt that went on for two days before he was arrested in rural Green Island, Minnesota.

Boelter also talked to the Post about the alleged hit list cops say they found in his car after the shooting …  claiming, “Certain details of that letter were leaked out that probably painted one kind of a picture, but a lot more important details that were in that letter were not leaked out.”

He also talked about the Bible verse which tells followers to “love thy neighbor” … adding people should wonder what might drive a God-fearing person to allegedly commit atrocious acts of violence.
