Trump says he won’t ‘waste time’ calling Minnesota governor after slayings

President Donald Trump said he will not call Minnesota Governor Tim Walz following a shooting that killed Democratic state lawmaker Melissa Hortman and injured another. Trump condemned the violence but dismissed contacting Walz, calling him “a mess.” The suspect, 57‑year‑old Vance Boelter, was arrested and charged with murder and stalking after allegedly impersonating a police officer and targeting Democratic lawmakers. Authorities found notebooks with names of political figures and abortion rights advocates but no clear manifesto, Al‑Jazeera has reported. The attack has heightened concerns over political violence, with officials continuing to investigate Boelter’s motives.
