(CNN) — A Minnesota man was indicted Tuesday on federal charges related to the killing of a state lawmaker and her spouse, and seriously injuring another state lawmaker and his wife.

Vance Boelter is accused of killing former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and seriously injuring Minnesota State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife last month.

The final decision on whether to seek the death penalty will be up to US Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Boelter also “shot at and attempted to kill” the Hoffmans’ daughter, Thompson said.

They also found a handwritten letter addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel inside a car Boelter abandoned in Green Isle, Minnesota, before his capture, Thompson said.

Boelter also claimed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz wanted him to kill Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith.

Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman was more than just the state House’s top Democrat, according to those who knew her. »
