Vance Boelter, the suspect in the shooting of Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, wrote a letter addressed to the FBI claiming that Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., had told him to kill U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., so that Walz could run for her seat in the U.S. Senate, according to a report citing sources.
The sources described the letter as confusing and incoherent, the report said.
Boelter, 57, also reportedly wrote in the letter that he was unofficially trained by the U.S. military.
Boelter is accused of shooting and killing state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and injuring Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.
