LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lawmakers in some states are moving to delete their home addresses from online directories after one Minnesota legislator was killed and another wounded in their suburban Minneapolis homes last weekend.
Authorities say the suspect, Vance Boelter, had a list of dozens of elected officials in Minnesota and meticulous notes on the homes and people he targeted in the Saturday shooting. Police say he found their addresses through internet searches.
Lawmakers in Wisconsin requested additional security for when the state Assembly meets on Wednesday, said Luke Wolff, spokesperson for Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. Wolff did not detail what was requested or what changes may be made.
