Hoffman family releases statement after Vance Boelter guilty plea in federal court: "There is no justice"

Vance Boelter pleaded guilty in federal court to six charges, including stalking, murder, and firearms violations, related to the June 14, 2025, attack in Champlin that wounded Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman and his wife and preceded the fatal shooting of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband. Under the plea, prosecutors seek two consecutive life terms plus 40 years, with no death penalty. Boelter also faces state charges, including two counts of first-degree premeditated murder and four counts of attempted first-degree murder, among others.
