2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators, charged in the political assassinations of former United States — Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman, and the attempted murders of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette Hoffman, is scheduled to change his not-guilty plea in federal court. This development follows the United States — United States Department of Justice's decision not to seek the death penalty against him, in accordance with a proposed plea agreement. The shootings occurred on June 14, 2025, with Boelter disguised as a police officer. Prosecutors have labeled the attacks as political, though Boelter's motives, sometimes linked to a 'COVID-19 vaccine investigation,' remain unclear. The victims, particularly John Hoffman and Yvette Hoffman, have suffered permanent physical and psychological trauma, leading to a lawsuit filed by John Hoffman against Boelter. United States — Minnesota abolished capital punishment in 1911, and this would have been its first federal death penalty case.
