The main suspect in the horrific fatal shooting of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband may have played a role in state government after receiving an appointment from two Democrat governors, including Gov. Tim Walz, Blaze News has learned.

According to a law enforcement source, police suspect that Vance Luther Boelter gunned down Rep. Hortman (DFL) and her husband, Mark, in Brooklyn Park as well as state Sen. John Hoffman (DFL) and his wife, Yvette, in nearby Champlin.

Boelter appears to be the same individual who was first appointed to the Governor’s Workforce Board in 2016 by then-Gov. Mark Dayton (DFL). He was then reappointed three years later by current Gov. Walz (DFL).

A LinkedIn profile for Boelter shows that he has a doctorate in education and traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Minnesota State Patrol has indicated that a stack of flyers for the anti-President Trump ‘No Kings’ rally was found in the suspect’s vehicle.

The attacks on the Hortmans and Hoffmans were discovered early Saturday morning. While the Hoffmans have undergone surgery and may yet survive multiple gunshot wounds, the Hortmans were found deceased.

Gov. Walz described the horrific violence as a “politically motivated assassination” and an “assassination attempt.” He likewise described the incident as “an unspeakable tragedy.”

Walz’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

According to multiple reports, the suspect presented himself as a police officer and even arrived in a vehicle that resembles a police cruiser. He allegedly arrived at the victims’ homes wearing a blue shirt and pants as well as a badge and Taser and asked the victims to come out of their homes.
