Tim Walz Ordered Senator Klobuchar Killed, According to Minnesota Gunman Vance Boelter [WATCH]

A Minnesota man charged with a deadly shooting spree targeting elected officials and their spouses has alleged in a letter to the FBI that Governor Tim Walz asked him to assassinate U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar.

The claim, made by 41-year-old Vance Boelter, is part of a handwritten letter addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel, according to individuals familiar with the investigation.

Boelter is currently facing multiple state and federal charges, including two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of attempted second-degree murder, and federal charges of stalking and firearms violations.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said her office intends to seek upgraded charges of first-degree murder.

According to a report by the Minnesota Star Tribune, Boelter’s letter spans a page and a half and has been described by sources as disorganized and difficult to interpret.

In it, Boelter claims he was secretly trained by the U.S. military and asked by Governor Walz to carry out the killing so Walz could eventually run for Klobuchar’s Senate seat.

A spokesperson for the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, Daniel Borgertpoepping, declined to comment directly on the contents of the letter but told the Star Tribune, “Due to the seriousness of the allegations it contains, we will state only that we have seen no evidence that the allegations regarding Governor Walz are based in fact.”

Teddy Tschann, a spokesperson for Governor Walz, responded by reiterating the governor’s appreciation for the swift law enforcement response.

“This tragedy continues to be deeply disturbing for all Minnesotans,” he said.

“Governor Walz is grateful to law enforcement who apprehended the shooter, and he’s grateful to the prosecutors who will ensure justice is swiftly served.”

Senator Klobuchar also issued a statement regarding the suspect and the attempted attacks.

“Boelter is a very dangerous man and I am deeply grateful that law enforcement got him behind bars before he killed other people,” she said.

Boelter is accused of arriving at the Brooklyn Park home of State Senator John Hoffman in the early morning hours dressed as a police officer and wearing a realistic silicone mask.

He allegedly shot Hoffman nine times and his wife, Yvette, eight times. Both victims were hospitalized in critical condition but are reported to be recovering.

Prior to that attack, Boelter is accused of fatally shooting State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, at their residence.

Authorities have not disclosed a specific motive, though the suspect’s writings have revealed a mixture of erratic political and ideological beliefs.

And just like that, the story gets more disturbing.

The manhunt for Boelter lasted two days and is being described as the largest in Minnesota state history.

He was ultimately apprehended without further incident.

Boelter, a resident of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, was previously associated with unusual business proposals and personal projects.

Charlie Kalech, CEO of the web design firm J-Town, told ABC News that Boelter had contacted him in the past about various eccentric ventures.

Among them were plans to combat hunger in the U.S. through “Good Samaritan” laws related to food donations, and the creation of a Hollywood-style film studio in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which he called “CONGOWOOD.”

One proposal involved developing a digital tracking system to display each elected official’s stance on food donation protections.

“See listed every singe [sic] elected official and where they stand on the Law,” Boelter wrote in a sample message cited by Kalech.

Federal and state authorities continue to investigate Boelter’s motives, including the contents of his letter to the FBI.

Prosecutors have indicated they may bring additional charges as the investigation progresses.
