Vance Boelter faces sentencing today for the horrific shooting that killed former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, while also wounding Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. After pleading guilty to six federal charges, prosecutors are recommending two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years — no death penalty sought. The Hoffmans are pursuing civil damages, and authorities say the attack was politically motivated. The 43-hour manhunt ended in rural Minnesota, leaving a community in mourning. In honor of Hortman, lawmakers have established a memorial garden and renamed state programs in her name, while Senator Hoffman continues his service with quiet strength.
