911 call transcripts provide new insights into the shooting of a Minnesota senator.

The recently released full transcripts of the 911 call made by Hope Hoffman, the daughter of Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman, have provided critical insights into a tragic event that unfolded in the early hours of June 14. The circumstances surrounding the incident, during which a gunman disguised as law enforcement shot both John and his wife, Yvette, have raised questions regarding emergency response protocols.

Hennepin County officials disclosed the unredacted versions of the 911 call late on a Monday evening, following a determined effort by Minnesota media outlets to obtain more detailed accounts than those provided in heavily redacted versions released in July. The call was placed just minutes after the Hoffmans encountered the gunman at their residence, who approached the couple at approximately 2 a.m. The assailant opened fire, hitting John Hoffman nine times and Yvette Hoffman eight times.

In the frantic call, Hope Hoffman alerted the dispatcher to the unfolding crisis, stating unequivocally that both of her parents had been shot. Her urgent words, “SHOT, SHOT, MY PARENTS HAVE BEEN SHOT,” highlighted the severity of the situation as she implored for immediate assistance. The dispatcher attempted to ascertain details about the assailant, to which Hope replied that both her parents were injured and that their attacker was masked, complicating identification.

The emotional distress of the situation was palpable, with Hope attempting to confirm her mother’s condition while rendering aid to her parents. Hope expressed suspicions that her father may have been targeted due to his political position and emphasized the potential importance of their security cameras in providing evidence related to the attack.

As the investigation into the attack continues, the 911 transcript has sparked inquiries into the effectiveness of the police response. Approximately 90 minutes after the Hoffmans’ emergency call, the alleged shooter, John Boelter, fatally attacked former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Concerns have been raised regarding the potential for earlier warnings to have been issued to other officials who may have been in danger during that critical timeframe.

Local law enforcement agencies are now facing scrutiny concerning their communication and operational protocols during emergency situations involving high-profile individuals. State departments have publicly committed to a thorough investigation into the response actions taken by law enforcement during this alarming incident.
