The wife of the man charged in the deadly, politically motivated shootings of Minnesota lawmakers in June has filed for divorce, court documents show.
Vance Boelter, 58, faces federal and state murder and attempted murder charges in connection with the deaths of House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and the shootings of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette on June 14 in their respective Twin Cities homes.
Jenny Lynne Boelter filed a petition for "dissolution with child" in Sibley County earlier this month, according to court documents. The official grounds of the divorce are unknown, as Judge Amber Donley granted her request to seal "all current and future documents filed in this matter," which are to be treated as confidential.
Nearly two weeks after the fatal shootings, Jenny Boelter released a statement through her attorney, saying her husband's actions were "a betrayal of everything we hold true as tenets of our Christian faith."
