Voyager Technologies Eyes $1.6 Billion IPO Riding the Defense Tech Surge
Who Is Vance Boelter?
Boelter, 57, works as the director of security patrols at Praetorian Guard Security Services, a private firm. The company touts military-trained staff, and Boelter was well-known for wearing realistic police-style uniforms.
On Praetorian Guard Security’s website, it says the company uses “the same make and model of vehicles that many police departments use in the U.S.”
“There is no question that if they were in this room, you would assume they are a police officer,” said Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley during a press conference.
Security footage showed Boelter near a Minneapolis business early Saturday morning, wearing a light-colored cowboy hat, dark collared coat, and light pants.
Political and Public Reactions
The shootings have drawn bipartisan condemnation. President Donald Trump released a statement Saturday, writing:
“I have been briefed on the terrible shooting that took place in Minnesota, which appears to be a targeted attack against state lawmakers. Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America.”
