A federal grand jury has formally indicted Vance Boelter on six federal charges for the shootings that left one Minnesota lawmaker and her husband dead and a second lawmaker and his wife injured. 

"Vance Boelter planned and carried out a night of terror that shook Minnesota to its core," acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson said in a statement. "He carried out targeted political assassinations the likes of which have never been seen in Minnesota."

Boelter, 57, has been charged with stalking and murdering former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their home in Minneapolis last month. He also is charged with stalking and shooting state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, and for attempting to shoot their daughter, Hope, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota.

Boelter, who allegedly conducted extensive research prior to the attacks, could potentially face life in prison or the death penalty.

Authorities allege Boelter impersonated a member of law enforcement on June 14 and then went to the homes of the Democratic elected officials with the intention of murdering them.

Boelter first went to the home of the Hoffmans in Champlin, Minnesota, where he allegedly shot Senator Hoffman and his wife repeatedly. Prosecutors say he also attempted to shoot their daughter, Hope, according to the news release.

After that, he allegedly drove to the homes of two other elected officials but discovered no one was home. Boelter then allegedly went to the home of Melissa Hortman and her husband, where he is accused of repeatedly shooting and killing them. The shootings sparked a two-day manhunt, ending with Boelter’s capture in nearby Sibley County. 

MINNESOTA SHOOTING SUSPECT VANCE BOELTER TO FACE FEDERAL CHARGES IN LAWMAKER ATTACKS

"I feel relief today in knowing that the perpetrator of these heinous acts will be charged to the fullest extent of the law," Hope Hoffman said in a statement. "Though I was not shot physically, I will now forever coexist with the PTSD of watching my parents be nearly shot dead in front of me and seeing my life flash before my eyes with a gun in my face."

The indictment comes shortly after Boelter spoke out about the alleged killings in a jailhouse interview, looking to eliminate certain theories surrounding the motivations behind the attacks. 

"You are fishing and I can’t talk about my case," Vance Boelter wrote to the New York Post from the Sherburne County Jail last week. "I’ll say it didn’t involve either the Trump stuff or pro-life."

"I am pro-life personaly [sic] but it wasn’t those," he reportedly said in a message sent from the jail’s internal messaging system. "I will just say there is a lot of information that will come out in future that people will look at and judge for themselves that goes back 24 months before the 14th. If the gov ever let’s [sic] it get out."  

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Fauja Singh, who is believed to have been the world’s oldest marathon runner, tragically died on Monday from injuries he sustained after being struck by a car while crossing a road in India. He was 114. 

Singh, who was believed to have been born in 1911, was taken to a hospital after reports say he suffered severe head injuries after being hit by a car in his native village near Jalandhar in Punjab.

His running coach, Harmander Singh, confirmed his death on social media.

"Dearest runners, it is with great sadness that we can confirm our icon of humanity and powerhouse of positivity, Fauja Singh, has passed away in India, aged 114 years old," his statement began. "He succumbed to injuries caused by a vehicle accident while crossing the road close to his home."

Harvinder Singh, a top district police officer in the area, told the BBC that law enforcement is still searching for the driver of the vehicle. 

Singh began running at the age of 89 after tragedy struck his family. He had lost his wife and son, but it was the tragic death of his son that Singh said had brought on his depression. His son, Kuldip, was decapitated in a farming accident in 1994. Singh had witnessed the horrible accident.

He later moved to London to live with his youngest son and soon discovered his love for running. 

"From a tragedy has come a lot of success and happiness," Singh said after he ran the London marathon in 2000. He competed in several marathons after, and his best finish was at the Toronto marathon in 2003, where he completed the race in 5 hours and 40 minutes. 

In 2011, at the age of 100, Singh became the oldest man to complete a marathon. The record, however, was not officially recognized by Guinness World Records because he did not have a birth certificate to prove his age. 

Government officials in India had stated that birth records were not kept at the time Singh was born. He did have a British passport that listed his date of birth as April 1, 1911.

Tributes for Singh poured in on social media following the news of his death. Among them was a statement from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

"​​Fauja Singh Ji was extraordinary because of his unique persona and the manner in which he inspired the youth of India on a very important topic of fitness," Modi said in a post on X. "He was an exceptional athlete with incredible determination. Pained by his passing away. My thoughts are with his family and countless admirers around the world."

Singh’s running club in London, Sikhs In The City, said it plans to honor his legacy at its upcoming events.
