Here is what has transpired since Friday night when Minnesota Speaker Hortman and her husband, Mark were assassinated in their home and Minnesota Senator Hoffman and his wife, Yvette were shot in their home. The search for Vance Luther Boelter, security service owner, right wing Christian fundamentalist and suspected assassin continues. Our hearts are heavy in Minnesota after suffering the loss of Speaker Hortman and her husband and the dire injuries suffered by senator Hoffman and his wife. I am posting the latest news and information here, Sunday, June 15th on the manhunt and the aftermath of the shootings.
