WSJ via MSN: Who Is Vance Boelter? The Minnesota Lawmaker Shooting Suspect
MINNEAPOLIS—The suspect in the shooting of Minnesota lawmakers on Saturday was feeling down and unhappy with his work situation, but showed no signs that he could turn violent, his self-described best friend and part-time roommate said.
Police identified the man, who remained at large Sunday, as 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter. Authorities said he impersonated a police officer to gain access to the suburban Minneapolis home of state Rep. Melissa Hortman, a 55-year-old Democratic leader and former speaker of the Minnesota House. She and her husband, Mark, were fatally shot.
Boelter is also a suspect in the shooting of state Sen. John Hoffman, 60, and his wife, Yvette, in their home in a suburb farther north.
Boelter had built a scattered career that included food companies, retailing and pastoring, according to public records and his online posts. He has been living with his wife in a rural area outside the Twin Cities, and staying a few nights a week at a rental home in a working-class Minneapolis neighborhood with a couple of roommates.
