Minnesota state Sen. Ann Rest —who escaped accused assassin Vance Boelter’s crosshairs — speaks out on ‘scary’ ordeal

One of the Minnesota pols who escaped suspected assassin Vance Boelter’s crosshairs told The Post on Monday that her close call was terrifying.

“It’s scary,’’ Democratic state Sen. Ann Rest said — shortly after it was revealed that Boelter had allegedly shot and wounded another Minnesota senator and his wife before  parking near her home early Saturday.

Boelter, 57, was apparently scared off from Rest’s home by a cop who had pulled up to her property as part of a wellness check, which police were conducting on local politicians after the earlier shooting.

Boelter is accused of later fatally gunning down state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband.

“I have been made aware that the shooting suspect was parked near my home early Saturday morning. I am so grateful for the heroic work of the New Hope Police Department and its officers,” Rest said.

“Their quick action saved my life. I am also thankful for the work of state and local law enforcement to apprehend the suspect before he could take any more lives.”

A relative of Rest told The Post the lucky lawmaker is “pretty sad” about the targeted shooting.

“She’s been [in politics] for I think 42 years and for something like this to happen is just tragic,” the kin said outside Rest’s home Monday. “I know she feels horrible for her colleagues.”

“She’s had better days,” she added. “You lose colleagues like that, that’s terrifying.”
