A person with a name Vance Boelter allegedly shot and killed Melissa Hortman, Democratic State Representative of Minnesota, whose husband, Mark Hortman, was at their home sometime Saturday morning while law enforcement officers pretended to be police. He also allegedly shot and killed state Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette Hoffman. They are still alive, but still in critical condition.
Law enforcement said they found declarations and hit rates in the cars of the alleged suspects, including politicians, abortion providers and abortion rights advocates. He also allegedly had flyers in his car to protest President Donald Trump’s “King-free” protest, which took place across the United States on Saturday.
The 57-year-old was identified by law enforcement as a suspicious shooter, runs armed security with his wife and has ties to at least one evangelical organization, a ministry he also runs with. (Not immediately commented with his wife.) The suspect had served as the Minister of Renovation, according to the archived website of public records and Wired reviews. The version of the Ministry’s website, captured in 2011, comes with a biography, and he is said to have been appointed in 1993.
According to an archived website of the ministry reviewed by Wired, the alleged shootingman’s missionary work brought him to Gaza and the West Bank during the Second Uprising, which stated that he “seeks radical Islamists to share the gospel and tells them that violence is not the answer.transparent
A later version of the website was designed according to an archived copy of Israeli web design firm J-Town. J-Town CEO Charlie Kalech told Wade that the suspects were allegedly “apparently religious and evangelical. He had a lot of ideas to make the world a better place.” J-Town commissioned J-Town to recall that the suspects Kalech said were “just good things to me” because they were Jerusalem, and he said he wanted to support Israel.
He has been the CEO of Red Lion Group over the past few years, according to a LinkedIn post, which has ambitions for the oil refining, logging and glass production sectors in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to an archived copy of its website.
In a sermon reviewed and delivered by alleged shooters in Matadi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, bordering Angola, he preached against abortion and called on different Christian churches to become “one.”
“They didn’t know that abortion was wrong, a lot of churches,” he said. “They had no gifts flowing. God gave the body gifts. Stay balanced. Because when the body began to move in the wrong direction, when they were alone, when they were receiving the gift, God would raise the apostles or prophets to correct their route.”
He added: “God will raise the apostles and prophets in America to correct His church.”
