Police Investigating Reported Break-In at Slain Minnesota Dem’s Home

The home where Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot was broken into days after their murder.

Police are investigating a reported break-in at the home of murdered Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman’s family home days after her death. According to local authorities, someone appears to have broken into the boarded-up house days after Hortman and her husband, Mark, were fatally shot inside of it. “It was discovered that the plywood covering the rear window of the home had been pried off and the window broken to gain entry,” Brooklyn Park police said in a statement Wednesday morning. The police said they received a call at 8 a.m. about an overnight break-in, noting that “the home appeared to have been searched by an unknown individual.” But they noted that Hortman’s family claimed nothing seemed to be missing, as they “removed items of value from the home on Tuesday.” The police also said that “all evidence related to the homicides had been collected” before the break-in. Suspected MAGA assassin, Vance Luther Boelter, gunned down Hortman and her husband in their own home early Saturday morning. He also shot Minnesota state Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. Boelter was apprehended Sunday night after a near two-day manhunt. Hortman’s mother, Lisa Haluptzok, told CBS News that her daughter’s death has been “mind-numbing,” Hortman’s brother, Patrick Haluptzok, adding that “we’re just trying to get by.”
