State patrol: No Nebraskans found on Minnesota shooting suspect’s hit list

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — The Nebraska State Patrol on Monday batted down reports that a Nebraska official was on the hit list of a man accused of killing a Minnesota lawmaker.

The patrol said it was aware of rumors that a Nebraskan or multiple Nebraskans were on a list created by Vance Boelter.

“NSP has been in contact with the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding this case and, at this point, there is no known threat to any Nebraskan, nor have the names of any Nebraskans been located on any such list,” the patrol said in statement.

The state patrol said it will coordinate with the FBI and Minnesota law enforcement if that changes.
