<p><strong>Original report:</strong></p>
<p>Minnesota law enforcement officials confirmed on Saturday that the suspect involved in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawmakers-spouses-gunned-down-in-targeted-shootings?author=Amanda+Prestigiacomo&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Lawmakers%2C+Spouses+Gunned+Down+In+‘Targeted’+Shootings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">murder and attempted murder of four people</a>, including state lawmakers, had the names of other elected officials and anti-Trump &#8220;No Kings&#8221; protest flyers in his vehicle.</p>
<p>Additionally, the suspect, identified as Vance Boelter, 57, was appointed to Minnesota Democrat Governor Tim Walz&#8217;s Workforce Development Council in 2019.</p>
<p>“When we did a search of the vehicle, there was a manifesto that identified many lawmakers and other officials. We immediately made alerts to the state. We took action on alerting them and providing security where necessary,” said Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley, <a href="https://www.whio.com/news/police-say-they-have/QN6NVORVYJEQ5FXGK5YXQU2FNA/">according</a> to the Associated Press.</p>
<p>State Patrol Col. Christina Bogojevic said during a presser that the suspect had “No Kings” flyers in his car, displaying a photo of the materials (see below). &#8220;No Kings&#8221; is a reference to nationwide left-wing protests taking place on Saturday to object to President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Organizers of &#8220;No Kings&#8221; protests in the state of Minnesota have canceled today&#8217;s events.</p>

<p>The pair were attacked in their homes. Rep. Hortman and her spouse were killed in what Gov. Tim Walz said was a &#8220;politically motivated assassination.&#8221; Hoffman and his wife were both shot numerous times, but are expected to survive.</p>

<p>Boelter was identified as the suspect in the attacks on Saturday afternoon, per sources close to the Associated Press. He was appointed to serve on the Workforce Development Council in 2019 by Gov. Walz, and Boelter&#8217;s term expired in January 2023, <a href="https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/57-year-old-suspect-sought-in-targeted-shootings-of-minnesota-state-lawmakers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to EYEWITNESS NEWS.</p>
<p>Boelter previously served on the board, which is categorized as nonpartisan, back in 2016 by then-Governor Mark Dayton, also a Democrat.</p>
