Vance Boelter, accused of shooting two Democratic Minnesota state lawmakers and their spouses in June 2025 (one couple died), was once appointed to an advisory board by Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Days after a Minnesota state lawmaker was killed and another injured in a "politically motivated assassination," President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he would not call the state's governor, eschewing a traditional presidential response to tragedies.

A state lawmaker and her husband were shot and killed, and a second lawmaker and his wife were shot and wounded early Saturday.
