A picture of Hoffman grinning and giving the thumbs up while standing with a suitcase on wheels, prepared to leave the hospital, was made public by the family.
In the Minneapolis suburb of Champlin, Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were awakened at around two in the morning on June 14 by a man knocking on their door and claiming to be a police officer. Security footage showed Vance Boelter, the suspect, at the entrance with a flashlight in his hand and a black tactical vest on, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit. His whole head was hidden behind a mask the color of flesh.
Investigators discovered the man was not a police officer once they opened the door and saw the mask, according to Yvette Hoffman. He continued by saying, “This is a robbery.” After lunging at the shooter, the senator was shot nine times. Before Yvette Hoffman could close the door, she was struck eight times. Hope, their grown daughter, was present but unharmed and dialed 911.
Boelter allegedly drove to the scene in a car that had been modified to seem like a police car without approaching them, then proceeded to her husband Mark’s house in Brooklyn Park, which is close by. According to reports, he murdered them both so severely that he had to be put down.

A few days following the attacks, Yvette Hoffman was discharged from the hospital. While in town for the event, former President Joe Biden was in the hospital.
Boelter is accused with murder and attempted murder in both federal and state courts, and he is still detained without being granted bail. Boelter stated on Thursday that he was eager for the information regarding the 14th to be released.
