Suspect in Minnesota lawmaker's killing was ‘prepper' preparing ‘for war'

The man charged in connection with the recent shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses was a doomsday 'prepper' who instructed his family to 'prepare for war' as he tried to evade capture, according to new court filings. Vance Boelter, 57, faces multiple federal and state murder charges after allegedly shooting dead the Democratic Minnesota state house speaker emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in the early hours of 14 June. Boelter is also accused of shooting and seriously wounding the Democratic state senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, about 90 minutes earlier. In a newly unsealed affidavit first reported by the local news station WCCO and seen by the Guardian, law enforcement pulled over Boelter's wife and four children hours after the shootings near Lake Mille Lacs, about 75 miles (120km) north of the Twin Cities, apparently en route to Wisconsin. Boelter's wife consented to a search of her vehicle, where law enforcement located a revolver in the glove box and a semi-automatic pistol in a cooler. Police also found a safe, Boelter's and the children's passports, and at least $10,000 in cash, according to the affidavit by FBI agent Terry Getsch. Boelter's wife told investigators that her husband had recently sent a message to a group text thread with their children, which 'stated something to the effect of they should prepare for war, they needed to get out of the house and people with guns may be showing up to the house', wrote Getsch. According to the affidavit dated 14 June, Boelter and his wife were preppers – a term which refers to people who stockpile materials such as weapons, food and gasoline. Preppers' purpose for doing that is to survive a future major disaster or catastrophe such as war or economic or political collapse. At some point earlier, Boelter had given his wife a 'bailout plan' – instructions of what to do and where to go in case of 'exigent circumstances'. The plan specified that the family go to her mother's residence in Spring Brook, Wisconsin. She also told investigators that her husband 'has a business partner from Worthington' who lives in the state of Washington. The two were 'partners … in Red Lion, a security company and fishing outfit in Congo, Africa', the affidavit states. The deadly shootings took place as millions of people prepared to take to the streets to protest against the Trump administration and its assault on free speech, peaceful assembly and due process rights embedded in the US constitution. Getsch wrote the affidavit during what became the largest ever manhunt in Minnesota state history, when he believed the gunman may have fled state lines. Boelter was eventually captured two days later while trying to evade arrest by fleeing into a wooded area close to his home. The affidavit does not imply that Boelter's wife knew about her husband's alleged plans to attack the lawmakers. She has not been charged with any crime. Boelter was disguised as a police officer and drove a black SUV with a license plate that said 'police'. He allegedly ambushed the lawmakers at home in the middle of the night, banging on their front doors armed with a 9mm handgun, and wearing a black tactical vest and silicone mask. He exchanged fire with police at about 3.30am on Saturday outside the Hortmans' home but managed to flee the scene, according to a federal criminal complaint. According to separate court documents obtained by WCCO on Friday, law enforcement found a storage locker rented by Boelter in Minneapolis on 10 June. He had last 'used his access code' for the locker the day before the shootings. Investigators later found empty rifle cases, gun-cleaning supplies and a bike inside the locker. Law enforcement found a 'hit list' of individuals inside what they believe was Boelter's vehicle. It included Hortman, Hoffman and several other Democratic lawmakers, as well as reproductive rights advocates. In a statement released on Thursday, the Hoffman family recounted the terrifying attack. The statement said: 'We are grappling with the reality that we live in a world where public service carries such risks as being targeted because someone disagrees with you or doesn't like what you stand for.'

Teen boy killed in fiery multi-vehicle crash in Pompano Beach, 5 others hospitalized, BSO says

A teenage boy is dead and five people were hospitalized after a fiery crash involving multiple vehicles in Pompano Beach on Friday night, authorities said. Just before 8 p.m., the Broward County Sheriff's Office responded to a multi-vehicle crash and car fire near 200 West Copans Rd. According to investigators, the preliminary investigation revealed that a 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, which a 16-year-old boy drove with a 17-year-old female passenger and three 17-year-old male passengers, was traveling west on West Copans Road and approaching Leisure Boulevard. Meanwhile, a 2021 Toyota Sienna, driven by an 82-year-old man, was traveling south on Leisure and approaching West Copans. BSO detectives said that at some point, the Sienna turned left when it collided with the Mercedes. The collision caused the teenage boy to lose control of his car, which rolled onto its roof as it slid southwest across the road and into eastbound traffic, colliding with a 2015 Lexus RX 350. Also, BSO said a 2021 Toyota RAV4 was traveling east on West Copans and was struck by debris as the Mercedes slid by. BSO deputies at the scene began life-saving measures until Pompano Beach Fire Rescue arrived and took all the Mercedes' occupants and the Lexus' driver to the hospital for treatment. However, the 16-year-old boy died at the scene, BSO said. BSO said the Sienna and RAV4 drivers were not injured and remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. According to BSO, detectives said excessive speed may have been a contributing factor, but the circumstances surrounding the crash remain under investigation.

The sculptures worth $2.1 million stolen from Anaheim warehouse have been found

A pair of sculptures that were taken from a warehouse in Anaheim last week have been recovered, according to authorities. The Anaheim Police Department confirmed that the sculptures, worth an estimated $2.1 million combined, were found Friday night. They were found in a trailer in a driveway after community members tipped police off to the location. Masterpiece Publishing Created by Sir Daniel Winn, the two pieces of artwork went missing sometime before June 9, police said. They each stand higher than eight feet tall and weigh thousands of pounds. Police said it's possible that forklifts were used to steal the sculptures due to their weight. As of Saturday, there's no word on any potential suspects in the alleged burglary. No arrests have been made, police said.
