WSJ via MSN: Who Is Vance Boelter? The Minnesota Lawmaker Shooting Suspect [View all]
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.
