Federal prosecutors secure plea deal, court hears plea change for Minnesota shooting suspect
Federal prosecutors announced a plea agreement with Vance Boelter, the suspect in the Minnesota murders of State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, ending the prospect of a death sentence. The agreement also covered the attempted killings of a state senator and his wife. According to the Department of Justice, prosecutors decided not to seek capital punishment.
