GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — Few words can describe the terror allegedly caused by Vance Boelter. "Boelter stalked his victims like prey," acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson said. "Again, it's no exaggeration to say this is the stuff of nightmares." New details shared by officials Monday include pages of notes with website names used to search for people's information. "He used the internet and other tools to find their addresses and names, the names of family members," Thompson said.

CHAMPLIN, Minn. — In quiet neighborhoods in the north metro, neighbors of the Hortmans and Hoffmans are sharing in the pain after Saturday morning's targeted attacks. "It was pretty intense," Levi Strand, who lives near the Hoffmans, said. "I can think like, pop, pop, pop, right, for sure three," he said, describing what he heard. 57-year-old Vance Boelter is who authorities suspect attacked Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. The couple were shot multiple times and are now recovering.

HANOVER, Minn. — The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office is looking for 28-year-old Randy Matthews after he evaded them Wednesday. HSCO initially responded to a home on Crow-Hassan Park Road Wednesday afternoon for a dispute and "request to standby as a tow truck company towed a car on site," according to the sheriff's office. According to HCSO, Matthews walked out, pointing a crossbow at them. He then made threats to deputies, they say, before running back inside the home.

ST PAUL, Minn. — During a debate over health care for undocumented immigrants in Minnesota, DFL Rep. Kaohly Her tried to humanize the House's discussion. "I would like for you to put a face to the name, face to what it is that we're doing today," Her said, speaking to her colleagues in the Minnesota House Monday. In doing that, Her shared her family's immigration story from Laos, who came to the U.S. as refugees after the Vietnam War.
