The suspect charged in connection to the shootings of two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses this weekend is said to have left behind notebooks filled with dozens of lawmakers\u2019 names \u2014 in what observers are now referring to as a \u201chit list.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities say that Vance Boelter, 57, shot and killed former Minnesota Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, at their home early Saturday and injured state Sen. John Hoffman (D) and his wife, Yvette, in a shooting at their home about 8 miles away earlier the same morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boelter faces a stalking charge for each lawmaker he shot, murder charges for the killings of Hortman and her husband and two counts of using a firearm during a crime of violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a newly unsealed affidavit, Boelter left behind his SUV when fleeing the Hortmans\u2019 home, and police discovered several notebooks with names of more than 45 Minnesota state and federal public officials. Police also found five firearms and a \u201clarge quantity\u201d of ammunition. The notebooks also contained lists of internet-based search engines to query people\u2019s addresses, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was a targeted attack against individuals who answered the call to public service,\u201d Alvin Winston, special agent in charge at the FBI\u2019s Minneapolis field office, said at Monday\u2019s press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lists included the names of numerous federal lawmakers, several of whom have publicly stated that the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) informed them that their names were on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Names of both U.S. senators from Minnesota \u2014 Democrats Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar \u2014 were included on the list, according to local news outlets, which reported that other names of Minnesota lawmakers, as well as abortion providers, were included on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minnesota Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig and Kelly Morrison said they were included on the list, Axios reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list reportedly named several Michigan Democrats, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-Mich.) postponed a town hall scheduled for Monday night out of an \u201cabundance of caution.\u201d Her spokesperson confirmed to The Hill that USCP informed the office that the congresswoman\u2019s name was on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) was on the list but declined to cancel her town hall Monday night, her spokesperson confirmed to The Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) said on X that USCP informed his office that his name was listed \u201cin documents found in the possession of the alleged Minnesota shooter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio) said he was informed by Capitol Police on Sunday morning \u2014 at which point the suspect was still at large \u2014 that his name appeared on the suspect\u2019s list. Landsman said he worked with the Cincinnati Police Department to arrange additional security for himself and his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) also said she was notified that \u201cmy name was included in the suspect\u2019s materials,\u201d and her \u201csecurity measures were increased.\u201d She thanked the USCP and the Columbus Police Department for their response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) said on Monday that she is \u201caware\u201d that her name was \u201con one of the many documents recovered from the vehicle of the suspect in Minnesota.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) and Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) were also included on the list, according to local reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) told the San Antonio Express-News that USCP told his chief of staff that Castro\u2019s name was included on that list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) also said USCP informed her that hers was a name included on \u201cthe Minnesota shooter\u2019s list of targets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson for USCP declined to say which lawmakers were named on the list but said, \u201cSince we were notified of the violence targeting lawmakers in Minnesota, we have been working around the clock with our Congressional, federal, state and local partners to ensure that the Members of Congress impacted by this terrible event have a strong security plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe continue to closely coordinate with the House and Senate Sergeant at Arms to enhance security for Members of Congress. Their partnerships, along with assistance from local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies across the country, are extremely important to keep everyone safe,\u201d the spokesperson continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor safety and security reasons, we will not discuss those details, but we will continue to focus on continuing intelligence sharing with our partners and providing proactive enhancements,\u201d the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
