He was influenced by the New Apostolic Reformation
On June 14, Minnesota state senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were shot at their home and were hospitalized, and then Melissa Hortman, leader of the Minnesota House Democratic caucus, and her husband, Mark, were similarly shot in their home and died.
