Heavily armed and dressed in tactical armor with a silicone mask hiding his face and a police-style badge, Vance Boelter made a convincing police officer – so much so that a real police officer mistook him for a fellow cop.
He wounded Sen. John Hoffman and his wife but didn’t come into contact with the two other DFL legislators, investigators say.
New details about Vance Boelter, accused of fatally shooting a state lawmaker and her husband, were revealed in court documents.
Surveillance footage captured an attempted murder, according to charges unsealed Sunday: A man wearing a mask, a blue shirt and police-style tactical vest with a badge knocked on a door in Champlin and announced himself as a police officer. He then entered the house and shot Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman and his wife.
