The manhunt continues Sunday morning for 57-year-old Vance Boelter, the suspected gunman behind Saturday's killings in Minnesota. As more details filter out about the shootings and the suspect, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Boelter texted two housemates who lived with him at a rented residence in north Minneapolis. One of the two men, David Carlson, read the texts aloud, as can be seen here:
- "David and Ron, I love you guys. I made some choices, and you guys don't know anything about this, but I'm going to be gone for a while," Carlson read. "May be dead shortly, so I just want to let you know I love you guys both and I wish it hadn't gone this way. I don't want to say anything more and implicate you in any way because you guys don't know anything about this. But I love you guys and I'm sorry for all the trouble this has caused."
Carlson, who has been friends with Boelter since childhood, said he called police after getting the text and could not comprehend the violence. He described Boelter as a supporter of President Trump and a Christian who opposed abortion, and added, "He wasn't really angry about politics," per Reuters. A list of about 70 potential victims found in the suspect's car included Planned Parenthood locations and doctors, as well as Democratic lawmakers, reports the New York Times.
- Victims: Police say a gunman disguised as a police officer fatally shot Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. The gunman also seriously wounded state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. Both lawmakers were Democrats.
