Police are on scene and investigating a break-in and attempted burglary at the home of slain Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman.
Vance Boelter, 57, shot and killed Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband early Saturday morning.
Boelter also shot and wounded Democrat State Senator John Hoffman and his wife.
Hortman’s home had been boarded up with plywood after investigators moved out all of the evidence of the homicide.
Late Tuesday evening and overnight into Wednesday, an individual pried off the plywood on a back window of the Hortman home.
Investigators are unclear whether the individual stole anything. The Hortman family arrived at the home on Wednesday to see if the individual took anything of value.
NBC News reported:
Police are investigating a reported overnight break-in at the boarded-up home where Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot over the weekend, authorities said Wednesday.
Officers were alerted at 8 a.m. about the break-in at the residence where Hortman and her husband were killed on Saturday in what officials have described as a “politically motivated” shooting, according to a statement by the Brooklyn Park Police Department.
Investigators had previously processed the home as a crime scene before it was boarded up on Sunday morning, with a police trailer camera left in front, police said in a Wednesday statement.
Hortman’s family had “removed items of value from the home on Tuesday,” police said.
