Thursday, July 23 — Vance Boelter was sentenced to two consecutive life terms plus 40 years in federal prison for the murders of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and the shootings of Senator John Hoffman, his wife Yvette, and their daughter. Emotional victim impact statements from the Hortman and Hoffman families underscored the lasting impact of the attacks. Four people have been arrested in connection with the deadly Farmington hit-and-run that killed 13-year-old Sasha Balandin. Police say they have recovered the vehicle involved, and prosecutors are now reviewing the case to determine formal criminal charges. A Brooklyn Park man is in custody after police say he broke into two homes and sexually assaulted two women at gunpoint just days after being released from prison. Investigators say 25-year-old Darius Olson-Baker was arrested following a SWAT operation and remains jailed as charges are expected. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has fined Lakeview Hospital nearly $16,000 after investigators found infectious medical waste improperly disposed of in regular trash. Workers at a Newport waste facility say they've discovered blood-filled tubes, body parts, and other hazardous materials more than 300 times in the past three years.
