Lawmakers' shooter surrenders; his hit list had 70 names

MINNEAPOLIS: The man accused of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another went to the homes of two other legislators on the night of the shootings, a federal prosecutor said Monday. But one of the other lawmakers was on vacation and the suspect left the other house after police arrived early Saturday, acting attorney Joseph Thompson said.

The suspect, Vance Boelter, meticulously planned out the attacks, carrying out surveillance missions and disguising himself as a police officer on the night of the attacks. A list of about 70 names was found from the fake police vehicle that was left at the crime scene, said officials. The list included state and federal lawmakers and community leaders, along with abortion rights advocates.

Boelter surrendered to police Sunday after they found him in the woods near his home following a massive manhunt over nearly two days. He is accused of fatally shooting former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband in their home. He also shot senator John Hoffman, a Democrat, and his wife.
