Police find vehicle linked to shooting of 2 Minnesota Democratic lawmakers

Authorities searched a vehicle on a rural road outside Minneapolis on Sunday that they believe had been used by the man wanted in the shootings of two Democratic lawmakers, as a state on edge struggled to make sense of the brazen political violence that left one leader dead. Former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed in their Brooklyn Park home early on Saturday. Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were injured at their Champlin home, about nine miles (about 15 kilometres) away. Authorities named 57-year-old Vance Boelter as a suspect, saying he wore a mask as he posed as a police officer, even allegedly altering a vehicle to make it look like a police car. More than 24 hours after authorities first confronted him outside Hortman's home, Boelter was still on the loose after fleeing on foot. The FBI issued a reward of up to USD 50,000 for information leading to his arrest and conviction. They circulated a photo taken on Saturday of Boelter wearing

Houston police are looking for two suspects after six men were shot and wounded early Sunday at an after-hours nightclub. Four of the wounded are in critical condition, said Assistant Chief James Skelton during a news conference. He provided no information on the conditions of the two other victims. Dispatchers were called around 3 a.m. to the packed nightclub, which was still serving drinks after the city's bars are supposed to be closed, Skelton said. He said police are reviewing video and talking to witnesses, but the preliminary investigation suggests that the people involved knew each other. He described it as an isolated attack that illustrates the problems of after-hours clubs. Establishments like this, that harbor within our city, contribute to crime, Skelton said. So the Houston Police Department, we are targeting these locations, and we're going to shut them down because it harbors the DWIs and the assaults, and that's exactly what we saw here tonight.

Man pleads guilty to murder in shooting at suburban Chicago July 4 parade

An Illinois man pleaded guilty Monday to killing seven people and injuring dozens more when he opened fire on a 2022 Independence Day parade in a Chicago suburb, a stunning development moments before opening statements in his trial on murder and attempted murder charges. Appearing in a Lake County circuit courtroom, Robert E. Crimo III, 24, withdrew his earlier not-guilty plea in the Highland Park shooting. Prosecutors initially charged him with 21 counts of first-degree murder three counts for each person killed as well as 48 counts of attempted murder. Prosecutors dropped 48 less serious counts of aggravated battery before jury selection last week. On Monday, Judge Victoria Rossetti read the charges to Crimo and asked questions to be sure he understood before accepting the plea. He was sitting next to his lawyers wearing a dark suit. Is that what you went over with your attorneys? Rossetti asked. Yes, Crimo replied. He gave mostly one-word answers to her follow-up questions.
