WISCONSIN — On Monday, the office of Sen. Tammy Baldwin's, D-Wis., was informed by law enforcement that her name appeared on the alleged Minnesota shooter's reported list of names.
Baldwin was among approximately 70 individuals named in writings recovered at the scene of a deadly shooting where former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed in their Brooklyn Park home early Saturday. The writings and list of names included prominent state and federal lawmakers and community leaders, along with abortion rights advocates and information about health care facilities, according to the officials.
Vance Boelter, the 57-year-old man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers, killing one of them, was taken into custody Sunday night, a law enforcement official said. Officials have not publicly identified a motive.
Eli Rosen, spokesperson for Sen. Baldwin, released this statement following the incident:
“Senator Baldwin was informed by law enforcement that she was included on the alleged shooter's list of names. She is grateful for law enforcement’s swift action to keep the community safe and remains focused on the things that matter most here: honoring the legacy and life of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, praying for the other victims who are fighting for their lives, and condemning this abhorrent, senseless political violence.”
Democratic Rep. Gwen Moore was also mentioned in the suspect's writings, according to a post she made on X.
"I’m aware my name was on one of the many documents recovered from the vehicle of the suspect in Minnesota. I thank law enforcement for their swift notification and subsequent response. My prayers are with all those impacted by these horrific acts," she said in the post.
