Vance Boelter, 57, the suspect in the assassination and attempted assassination of Minnesota state lawmakers, said that he blamed Governor Tim Walz for the shooting rampage, according to a report from Alpha News.
The outlet, citing multiple sources familiar with the investigation into Boelter and the shootings, said in a "confession letter" intended for FBI Director Kash Patel, Boelter confirmed that he was the “shooter at large in Minnesota involved in the 2 shootings."
Charging documents from police indicated that the handwritten note was from "Dr Vance Luther Boelter," and that the letter was found in the Buick that he had purchased in the hours after shooting Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were hospitalized, the outlet reported. Boelter fatally shot Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, after shooting Hoffman and his wife.
Boelter has been charged with murder as well as stalking by the Department of Justice in the case. He is also facing state charges of murder. An affidavit stated that evidence in the case "indicates that Boelter extensively planned his stalking, murders, and attempted murders."
