Minnesota Shooter Vance Boelter Texted Roommates

New details are emerging about Vance Luther Boelter, the 57-year-old suspect accused of carrying out a deadly shooting spree that claimed the lives of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, and left State Senator John Hoffman and his wife wounded.

Conversations with Boelter’s longtime roommates in Minneapolis have revealed personal struggles, concerning behavior, and early signs of distress in the days leading up to the attacks.

According to his roommates, Boelter maintained a part-time residence at a home on Fremont Avenue North in Minneapolis, where he rented a room and stayed for a few days each month while working in the city.

His primary residence, they said, was in Green Isle, Minnesota, where he lived with his family.
