Minnesota Couple Shot 17 Times in Apparent Political Attack
State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, survived a shooting at their home in which they were hit by 17 bullets; John sustained nine gunshot wounds and Yvette eight. The attack, which also resulted in the deaths of House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, was perpetrated by Vance Luther Boelter, who was disguised as a police officer. Boelter, a suspect with a background in security and military training, remains at large, with a nationwide manhunt underway and a $50,000 reward offered for information leading to his arrest. Authorities believe the attack was politically motivated.
