MINNEAPOLIS – New photos show gaping holes in the windows of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark’s home in Brooklyn Park following a Saturday morning shooting that left them both dead.
Federal and local authorities continue to search tirelessly for suspect Vance Luther Boelter, who is accused of killing Hortman and her husband. He is also accused of shooting State Sen. John Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette, in their nearby Champlin home.
Photos show massive holes in several of the Hortmans’ windows on the back side of the house while other windows and their garage door have been boarded up.
As the search for Boelter continues, South Dakota has been put on alert as authorities ramp up their search.

A tow truck arrived in the area empty and left with a vehicle. Minnesota state authorities have not yet confirmed whether the vehicle was related to Boetler.
Officials are expected to provide an update in the search at 5:30 p.m. CT Sunday.

“John is enduring many surgeries right now and is closer every hour to being out of the woods,” she wrote. “He took [nine] bullet hits. I took [eight] and we are both incredibly lucky to be alive. We are gutted and devastated by the loss of Melissa and Mark. There is never a place for this kind of political hate.”

“They’ve also put an alert out in South Dakota,” Klobuchar said, adding that the suspect is still believed to be in the Midwest.

Klobuchar also gave an update on Hoffman and his wife, saying that they are “hanging in there” after each suffering “multiple, multiple gun wounds.”
“His wife was out of surgery first, and she’s actually texted some of our mutual friends, and he may face some additional surgeries,” the senator said of the Hoffmans. “He is also in stable condition right now, from what I know.”

Klobuchar warned citizens not to approach Boelter as he should be considered dangerous.
“But right now everyone on edge here because we know that this man will kill at a second,” she said. “We also know that he is clearly off balance, that from the manifesto on some of his writings, some of the things that he has said recently, that he’s someone that no one should mess with except for law enforcement.”
