## Resource

Vance Boelter, the convicted shooter who targeted two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses in a politically motivated attack, faces sentencing today — his 59th birthday — as prosecutors seek two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years, with no death penalty pursued. The June 2025 rampage, which wounded Senator John Hoffman and his wife and killed former Speaker Melissa Hortman, ended in a 43-hour manhunt. State charges loom alongside a civil suit from the Hoffman family, while lawmakers honor Hortman’s legacy with a memorial garden and highway renaming — as Hoffman continues serving in the legislature.
