19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: throughout the state. They identified the car in Sibley County,

20
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,720

00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: hour's dry from the scene of Saturday's violence, law enforcement

22
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: cladden tactical gear raced down a rural highway while emergency

23
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: alerts on cell phones urged local residents to secure their

24
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,479

26

Speaker 2: State patrol helicopter circled overhead as heavily armed officers conducted

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,640

29

00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,800

31
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: had requested the assistance from the public, offering a reward

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,919

00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: with investigators and were not in custody as of Sunday evening,

37
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: stated Drew Evans, superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

38
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: Investigators revealed that during the attack, the suspect impersonated a

39
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: police officer wearing a ballistic vest, gloves, and a mask

40
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: to conceal his identity while shooting representative Melissa Hortman and

41
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: her husband Mark. Police nearly captured Boler at the time,

42
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: but he fled on foot after a brief exchange of

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: gunfire with officers and a separate vehicle associated with the

44
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: suspect that was abandoned at the shooting site, authorities discovered

45
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: a notebook containing a list of lawmakers and various notes,

46
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: as detailed by mister Evans during a press briefing.

47
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 3: In terms of what's been referred to manifesto, I want

48
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: to clarify for everybody and just for this this is

49
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: not a document, because I think it's important for the

50
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 3: public to understand that would be like a traditional manifesto

51
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: that's a treatise on all kinds of ideology and writings.

52
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: This is a notebook with a lot of that's been

53
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: reported of lawmakers and others that are listed in here,

54
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: and then much more other thoughts that are throughout this

55
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: as opposed to a succinct document that's providing long and

56
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: it's in mixed in with other documents. So that's where

57
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: this is coming from.

58
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: More on this breaking story. After this, former House speaker

59
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: Melissa Hartman and her husband Mark tragically lost their lives

60
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: in their Brooklyn Park home early Saturday morning. Meanwhile, Senator

61
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: John Hoffman and his wife Events stained serious injuries at

62
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: their home in Champlain, located about nine miles away. Both

63
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: were shot at least eight times and have undergone multiple surgeries.

64
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: Authorities say fifty nine year old Advance Boulder, the prime suspect,

65
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: wore a mask and impersonated a police officer, even modifying

66
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: a vehicle to resemble a police car. Law enforcement conducted

67
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: searches of the vehicle on a secluded road as the

68
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: state grappled with the shocking nature of this politically motivated crime.

69
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: The search was concentrated in a rural Sibley County area

70
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: about fifty miles southwest of Minneapolis, where Bolter lived with

71
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: his wife and five children. Residents received an emergency alert

72
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: regarding the vehicle and advising them to secure and lock

73
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: their homes and cars. Authorities also recovered a list of

74
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: around seventy names from ridings found in that fake police

75
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: vehicle at the crime scene. This list included notable state

76
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: and federal lawmakers, community the leaders, abortion rights advocates, and

77
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: details regarding health care facilities. Several ak style firearms were

78
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: confiscated from the suspects vehicle. Boler is a former political

79
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: appointee who served on the same state Workforce Development Board

80
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: as Hoffman, although it remains unclear how well they knew

81
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: each other. At around six am on Saturday, Bolter sent

82
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: text to friends expressing regrets for his actions, without specifically

83
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: saying what he had done. He said, I'm going to

84
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: be gone for a while. Here's one of those friends

85
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: speaking to CBS News.

86
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: He just.

87
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: Felt he made he made some choices, and you know

88
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 4: he's he was planning some things that we didn't have

89
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 4: all that we didn't all about them, is what he said,

90
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: and then that he might be dead soon in law

91
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: for a long time.

92
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: Police responded to gunfire reports at the Hoffsman's home just

93
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 2: after two am Saturday, discovering the couple with multiple gunshot wounds.

94
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: Local police from Brooklyn Park who were on the scene,

95
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: decided to check on Hortman's nearby home, as stated by

96
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: police Chief Mark Browley. Upon arriving, officers encountered what appeared

97
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: to be a police vehicle and a man dressed as

98
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: an officer exiting the house. When confronted, he fired at

99
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: the officers, who returned fire. The suspect then retreated into

100
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 2: the home and escaped on foot, leaving behind the vehicle

101
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: designed to mimic a police car, where authorities later found

102
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: those ridings. Stay with Crime Alert hourly update as we
