The wife of Vance Boelter, the suspect in the Minnesota lawmaker shootings, publicly expressed her shock and sorrow at her husband’s actions, which resulted in two deaths and two injuries. The shootings, which occurred on June 14 at the homes of Democratic politicians Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman, left Hortman and her husband, Mark, dead, and Yvette Hoffman wounded. Boelter, 57, was arrested two days later after a massive manhunt.
In a statement released through her lawyers, Jenny Boelter expressed her family’s “deepest sympathies” to the grieving families of the victims. She described feeling “shocked, heartbroken, and completely blindsided” by her husband’s violent actions, emphasizing that they do not reflect her family’s values or beliefs as Christians. Jenny denounced the violence as a betrayal of their core principles, stating her horror at the tragedy.
She revealed that her family has fully cooperated with law enforcement since the incidents began, immediately meeting agents after being contacted on June 14. Jenny clarified that they did not flee but waited for authorities to arrive, providing requested items and allowing searches.
She expressed gratitude for the diligent efforts of law enforcement in investigating the case, acknowledging their role in apprehending Boelter and preventing further harm. This statement marks the first public comment from Jenny Boelter since her husband’s arrest, shedding light on her family’s distress and commitment to supporting the investigation into the “politically motivated” attacks.
