The wife of alleged Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter says her family was “completely blindsided” by her husband’s politically motivated shooting spree that left a lawmaker and her husband dead earlier this month.
Speaking via a lawyer, Jenny Boelter expressed her horror at her husband’s alleged murder of former state House Speaker Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman, her husband, and the shootings that left state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette wounded.
