PolitiFact: Suspect Vance Luther Boelter served on a state board focused on Minnesota ’s workforce.

Conservative influencers spun unsubstantiated theories that the suspect was a left-wing extremist who targeted the Democratic -aligned leaders for voting against party lines.

Gov. Tim Walz's spokesperson said Walz had no relationship with the suspect, and Walz was not in any way linked to the shootings.

Conservative X users circulated theories based on the lawmakers’ recent votes.

Boelter ’s online biography says he has received training from the U.S. military and private firms and has done security work in Eastern Europe , Africa , and the Middle East , including in the Gaza Strip .

The New York Times reported that state reports in 2016 listed the suspect's political affiliation as “none or other” and “no party preference”.
