Overview
- Hope Hoffman told dispatchers a masked person dressed as “fake police” shot her parents and identified her father as Sen. John Hoffman while urging a rapid response.
- The release followed state administrative rulings siding with media requesters under Minnesota’s data law, after Hennepin County had issued heavily redacted records.
- The Attorney General’s Office declined to overturn the Commissioner of Administration’s decision, and the county then provided a largely unredacted transcript with limited redactions.
- The transcript’s details have prompted questions about whether alerts were relayed promptly, with DPS planning an after-action review and the legislative auditor gathering information.
- Prosecutors say Vance Boelter later killed Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband before a 40-hour manhunt ended in his arrest; he faces federal stalking and murder counts and state murder and attempted-murder charges.
