At the time of the death of Minnesota State Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, the suspect stopped the Minnesota State legislators’ at least four at home very early Saturday, before escaping after the police fire.
All goals were Democrats.
Joseph Thompson, a US lawyer, described the 57-year-old Vance Boelter movement at a press conference on Monday, announcing him about the federal allegations of murders who have the death penalty.
Six accusations included the shooting of John Hoffman, the elder of Minnesota, and his wife, killing the Horchmans, and observing both couples.
Thompson refused to name the other two houses where Boelter has not shot any rounds, saying that legislators can identify themselves if they wanted it.
“These are nightmares,” Thompson told reporters, adding that Boelter was holding his targets as a “prey.”
The deadly rampage committed by the suspect, convincingly dressed as a police officer, began at the home of the Minnesota State Senate John Hoffman, about 2 hours.
Prosecutors say Boelter wore a black tactical vest, body armor, a “hyperrealistic silicone mask” and held a flashlight and a 9mm Beretta manual weapon with more weapons, including assault rifles in their SUV, which was abolished to look like a true police vehicle.
The security camera recorded the suspect’s attitude at the Hoffmans residence.
The couple opened when Boelter allegedly shouted, “It’s the police! Open the door!”
Initially, he glowed a flashlight into the couple’s faces, Thompson said. When the flashlight was lowered, Hoffmans began to shout on the man, “You’re not a cop!”
Then the Boeler allegedly told them he was there to rob them. He tried to push the house by shooting a couple and escaped until Hoffmans’ daughter called 911.
Thompson said Boelter later went to two more homes before finishing Hotmans.
In one home, in Maple Park, Minnesota, residents went on vacation.
In another, New Hope, Minnesota, a real law enforcement officer on the stage, appeared as a deterrent.
Thompson said the shooting speech about Hoffmans Champlin, Minnesota, at home, was law enforcement. A new police officer tried to talk to his suspect SUV, waiting for the backup of the nameless legislator at home, but received no answer; He left before the stock arrived.
Officials were also determined to check the Hotmans in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, arriving at about the same time as the suspect.
He then played a chaotic scene, and Boelter allegedly rushed home to shoot the couple, seeing police officers – before escaping from the back under the weapon. The couple’s daughter Hope Hortman called 911.
Hydmans were rushed to the hospital, but both died of their injuries.

Law enforcement found a suspect’s tactical equipment, weapon and mask thrown by his flight path.
Violence caused the largest History of Minnesota, Manhun, which ended on Sunday, when officials arrested the Boelter wooded in the Minnesota district after the local resident noticed him on the trail camera. Initially, he was accused of the number of state -level murders, which is expected to take place with the federal case.
Boelter is expected to appear in the Federal Court at 1:30 p.m. Local time.
Prosecutors have so far refused to speculate on the motive for shooting, although they confirmed that hundreds of maps, notebooks and other potential targets have been discovered at the end of the suspect SUV.
“Let me tell me: there was a lot of press and speculation and discussion about the manifesto. I haven’t seen anything like a UNBOMber-style manifesto in my writings,” Thompson said.
“He had a lot of notebooks, full plans, name lists, observation,” he continued. “But I haven’t seen anything that would include a kind of political or manifesto that clearly determined what motivated it.”
