Part 9/11:
Investigators discovered Bolter’s vehicle abandoned nearby, containing firearms, passports, and a handwritten manifesto. Notably, a "target list" with approximately 70 names—including lawmakers, abortion providers, and activists—was recovered, suggesting the attack might be part of a broader ideological or political motive, although authorities have yet to confirm definitive motives.
Officials condemned the attack, with Minnesota’s governor Tim Walz condemning Bolter’s exploitation of trust in democratic institutions. Bolter’s background is alarming; he served two terms on the Minnesota Workforce Development Board, appointed by both Dayton and Walz, and had past interactions with former Senator Hoffman.
