Overview
- Hope Hoffman called 911 at 2:05 a.m. reporting her parents had been shot and said a man dressed as “fake police” rang their doorbell repeatedly before opening fire.
- She told the dispatcher the assailant was masked, said her father was targeted because he is a state senator, and noted exterior cameras might have captured a getaway vehicle.
- Hennepin County released a largely unredacted transcript after state data officials sided with media outlets and the Attorney General’s Office declined to overturn that decision, though some passages remain redacted.
- The release has renewed questions about interagency alerts, including whether officers were warned about a masked suspect impersonating police before a New Hope officer encountered the alleged gunman near Sen. Ann Rest’s home.
- State officials plan an after-action review and the legislative auditor is gathering information, while Vance Boelter remains under federal and state indictments that include charges eligible for the death penalty after his arrest 40 hours later.
