Vance Boelter Pleads Guilty in Tragic Shootings

Vance Boelter has pleaded guilty to federal charges in the June 2025 shootings that killed Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and wounded Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. In exchange for admitting guilt on all counts, prosecutors agreed to drop the death penalty—a major shift from his initial not guilty plea. Sentencing is set for July 23rd at 10 AM, with Boelter facing two life sentences plus 40 years, avoiding a trial and offering closure to grieving families.
