The former Minnesota house speaker and her husband, Mark, were gunned down after Boelter allegedly shot and wounded state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife.

“The home was once again processed by crime scene investigators for evidence of the burglary,” cops said. “The home appeared to have been searched by an unknown individual; however, the family has indicated that they don’t believe anything is missing.”
