A rambling manifesto reportedly penned by a man who allegedly killed a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and wounded two others during a shooting spree last month was released to the public on Tuesday.
Vance Boelter, a 57-year-old man who is now potentially facing the death penalty on two capital murder charges, claimed that he was “hired by U.S. Military people off the books starting in college” and had been approached by state politicians to assassinate others.
The act, he insinuated in the rambling document, was perpetrated “to spill all the beans” and make the conspiracy public.
The letter, addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel, was written after he had shot state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette Hoffman. The Hortmans died while the Hoffmans survived.
According to KMSP‑TV, the letter was released Tuesday as part of Boelter’s indictment for the June 14 attacks. He was captured after a two-day manhunt.
“I am the shooter at large in Minnesota involved in the state 2 shootings the morning of Saturday June 15th at approximately 2:30 am and 3:30 am, or around that time,” the letter began. “I will probably be dead by the time you read this letter. I wanted to share some info with you that you might find interesting.
“I was hired by U.S. Military people off the books starting in college. I have been on projects since that time in Eastern Europe, North America, the Middle East and Africa. All in the line of doing what I thought was right and in the best interest of the United States.
“Recently I was approached about a project that Tim Walz wanted done, and __ ___ and ___ ___ was also aware of the project,” Boelter’s alleged letter continued. “Tim wanted me to kill Amy Klobuchar and Tina [ Smith],” the state’s two Democratic U.S. senators.
