Acting U.S. attorney Joseph Thompson says that after Boelter shot State Sen. John Hoffman (DFL) but before he assassinated DFL House Leader Melissa Hortman, he visited the nearby houses of a state representative and a state senator to attempt to kill them as well.
SNIP: Boelter’s ‘hit list’ appears to be bullshit.
We might have edited it a bit 😉
So if this guy shot two people, went to two more homes to shoot people but they weren’t there, then went to a fourth home and shot two more people, why isn’t he being charged with first degree murder WITH INTENT!
Nice word doc. Provenance is hard to glean from that shit.
Donations are needed for police organizations in MN to bring them into the late 20th century with copiers.

My understanding is under Minnesota law, the alleged suspect has to be indicted by a Grand Jury to be charged with Murder in the 1st degree.
The 2nd Degree charge was just so they could hold him on high bail ($5M) and we should expect 1st Degree charges within the week.
