BREAKING NEWS Minnesota Murder Suspects of Two Lawmakers Car Found.
A wave of disbelief has swept across Minnesota following a violent attack that left two state lawmakers dead and two others critically injured in what authorities are calling a politically motivated assassination attempt. Police searching for the alleged gunman, 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter, say they have located an unoccupied car linked to the suspect in rural Sibley County, about 50 miles from the crime scenes. Melissa Hortman, the state's top Democratic legislator, and her husband, Mark, were found shot dead in their Brooklyn Park home early Saturday morning. Shortly before, State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were gunned down at their home in Champlin but survived after undergoing surgery. Police said Boelter, disguised in a latex mask and posing as a police officer, carried out the attacks using a vehicle equipped with flashing emergency lights to impersonate law enforcement. Authorities believe Boelter targeted the lawmakers for political reasons. A target list recovered from one of his vehicles reportedly contained the names of several Democratic officials, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, and State Attorney General Keith Ellison. "Clearly, this is politically motivated," Senator Klobuchar told NBC’s Meet the Press. After exchanging gunfire with police at the second crime scene, Boelter managed to escape on foot. His abandoned black sedan was discovered Sunday morning in Sibley County. Residents were alerted with a message: “Suspect not located. Keep your doors locked and vehicles secured.” A cowboy hat matching Boelter’s known appearance was found on a nearby road, further confirming the connection. In a separate development, Boelter’s wife, Jenny, was briefly detained during a traffic stop in Onamia on Saturday, more than 100 miles from their home, along with three relatives. She was released without being taken into custody, according to local outlet KSTP. Federal authorities have now joined the manhunt, extending the search into South Dakota and placing Boelter on the FBI’s most wanted list. A $50,000 reward has been offered for information leading to his capture. Details of the attack have shaken residents and lawmakers alike. A Facebook post by someone identifying as a nephew of Yvette Hoffman said she threw herself on their daughter during the attack, using her body to shield the girl from gunfire. The suspect, Boelter, has a background in security and military training, according to his CV. Investigators say he was equipped with realistic police gear, making it easier to gain access to his targets. The state’s Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, affiliated with the national Democratic Party, is mourning the loss of two key figures. Neighbours of the Hortmans expressed their grief, describing them as kind, civic-minded people who maintained relationships across party lines. "They were very nice neighbours in a very quiet neighbourhood," said Taha Abuisnaineh, a Brooklyn Park resident who had known the couple for over two decades. "We are very shocked." Other residents echoed the sentiment. "What a big loss for Minnesota," said a neighbour who received an annual Christmas card from the couple. “My next-door neighbour heard the shots. We've all been texting back and forth." In Sibley County, where the suspect’s car was found, local resident Brian Liebhard shared the prevailing mood. “This guy needs to get caught,” he told the BBC. “I don’t agree with everything they vote for, but this is sad – the guy went wacko.” As Senator Hoffman and his wife recover, the community waits anxiously for more answers. Authorities expect the couple to make a public statement once they are able. For now, Minnesota remains stunned, united in grief, and on edge as the manhunt continues.

Crime Man Arrested Over Motorcycle Garage Shooting That Left 1 Dead, 1 Seriously Injured in BKK
Picture courtesy of Matichon. The Crime Suppression Division officers have arrested a 19-year-old man in connection with a deadly gun attack on a motorcycle repair shop in Bangkok, believed to have stemmed from a dispute over a pawned motorcycle. Mr Hasan, aged 19, was apprehended at a residence in Wang Phaya subdistrict, Raman district, Yala province, under an arrest warrant issued by the Phra Khanong Criminal Court (No. 339/2568) dated 11 May 2025. The charges include murder, attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, criminal association, illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, carrying firearms in public without permission and discharging a weapon in a public area. The shooting incident occurred in early May, when over ten armed men stormed a motorcycle repair shop on Soi Pattanakarn 32 in Suan Luang district, Bangkok. The attack left Mr Sukeepalee, 28, a mechanic, dead at the scene and another mechanic, Mr Adul, 33, critically injured. Initial investigations by officers from Khlong Tan Police Station revealed that the motive behind the attack involved a financial dispute. Mr Adul had previously accepted a motorcycle as collateral from the suspects’ group. However, due to missed payments on the vehicle’s finance, repossession agents from a finance company reclaimed the bike from the garage. The suspects were reportedly enraged that Mr Adul allowed the repossession to proceed without resistance. Attempts were made to resolve the dispute through negotiations, but the talks proved unsuccessful, escalating tensions between the parties and ultimately leading to the violent attack. Following the incident, police gathered witness testimonies and evidence, leading to arrest warrants for several suspects. Some were subsequently apprehended and identified Mr Hasan as the gunman who fired the fatal shots. Detectives from the 6th Division of the Crime Suppression Bureau later traced Mr Hasan to Yala province, where he had reportedly been hiding since the attack. He was arrested without incident. During questioning, Mr Hasan partially admitted to being present at the scene, claiming he was invited by friends to help resolve the issue but denied being the shooter. Police remain sceptical of his claims and have transferred him to Khlong Tan Police Station for further legal proceedings. The investigation continues as officers work to apprehend the remaining suspects involved in the fatal shooting.
