Breaking news as Vance Boelter faces federal indictment for allegedly killing a lawmaker and her husband.

Boelter allegedly said Tim Walz wanted him to kill people...

An official news report said the following:

Vance Boelter, 57, made the claims in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that was found in Boelter's car after the shootings last month at two lawmakers' homes, said acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson, who called the letter part of an apparent effort by Boelter to excuse his crimes.

Thompson said there was no evidence Boelter targeted Minnesota's two U.S. senators, Amy Klobuchar or Tina Smith, both Democrats. A spokesperson for Gov. Tim Walz did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
