The best friend and roommate of the person who allegedly killed a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband while dressed up as a police officer has revealed the chilling words of the suspect right after the attack was carried out.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor reported, two Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party lawmakers and their spouses were shot in ‘targeted’ attacks at their homes early Saturday by a man dressed as a police officer.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced at a press briefing that Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed in the shootings. State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were seriously wounded. Walz called the shootings “targeted” attacks.
57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter was later identified as the suspect in these attacks. As TGP’s Cassandra MacDonald notes, Boelter was a Tim Walz appointee and led an international security firm.
Now, David Carlson, the best friend and roommate of Boelter, shared a text message revealing the suspect’s final words before the attack. The message was reportedly received around 6 a.m. Saturday, shortly after former Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, and Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were shot.
Multiple Minnesota media outlets, including the Minnesota Star Tribune, recorded the video. The message is quite cryptic and chilling.
“David and Ron, I love you guys. I made some choices, and you guys don’t know anything about this, but I’m going to be gone for a while. May be dead shortly, so I just want to let you know I love you guys both and I wish it hadn’t gone this way,” Carlson read from his phone while sitting on his porch steps.
“I don’t want to say anything more and implicate you in any way because you guys don’t know anything about this. But I love you guys and I’m sorry for all the trouble this has caused,” the message continued.

As The New York Post notes, Carlson said he believed the message he received was potentially a suicide note and contacted authorities.
Carlson also revealed that his Boelter had several failed business ventures and was having difficulty finding work before carrying out his act of evil.
“He was looking around, but maybe things didn’t work out, and he just gave up and decided to go out in a blaze of glory,” Carlson said. “I have no idea what he was thinking.”
