Part 8/14:
The violence unfolded early Saturday, beginning with Bolter’s break-in and shooting of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Afterward, Bolter invaded the Hortman residence, killing the politician and seriously wounding her husband. Investigators uncovered a disturbing cache of evidence in Bolter’s abandoned vehicle, including a manifesto, a target list of over 70 individuals—lawmakers, abortion providers, and out-of-state officials—and anti-government slogans like “no kings.” This points to a broader anti-establishment extremist ideology.
