Vance Boelter, the man accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, is set to make his first court appearance Monday afternoon on charges of murder and attempted murder.

Minnesota state Sen. John Hoffman lived in West Des Moines for nearly a decade and is credited with forming an active Democratic Party there.

A manhunt is underway after the fatal shooting of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband overnight. State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were also injured in what Gov. Tim Walz called "politically motivated" shootings.

Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, were shot and killed early Saturday morning in “what appears to be a politically-motivated assassination,” Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said at a news conference Saturday.
