from 4 Things To Know from WCCO · host WCCO

YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/-bdY7hOzeJI June 11 — Vance Boelter changed his plea to guilty. This is for the murders of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, the shooting of Senator John Hoffman, his wife Yvette, and the attempted shooting of their daughter Hope. The new agreement, which the court accepted, says Boelter agrees to face two life terms in prison. The parties also agree he won't face the death penalty. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty says the state's case against Boelter will continue despite the federal guilty plea. We hear from the U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota, Daniel Rosen, on his satisfaction with the plea change. He also speaks on the other victims in the case. Plus, Brooklyn Park Police are preparing for the one-year mark of the lawmaker attacks. The department sent out a message to residents letting them know they should expect to see more police in the neighborhood this weekend. Join Johnny Kahner for this episode of 4 Things to Know.
