Man accused of shooting 2 Minnesota lawmakers arrested after “largest manhunt in state’s history”

From Global News.

A massive two-day manhunt ended on Sunday with the arrest of Vance Boelter, 57, the man suspected of killing a Minnesota Democratic state lawmaker and her husband while posing as a police officer. Officers located him in the woods near his home.

Police Chief Mark Bruley of the Brooklyn Park Police Department called it "the largest manhunt in the state’s history."

Boelter is accused of fatally shooting Melissa Hortman, the top Democrat in the Minnesota House, and her husband, Mark, in their home on Saturday. Authorities said Boelter also allegedly shot and wounded another Democratic lawmaker, state Senator John Hoffman, and his wife Yvette at their home a few miles away.

"A moment in this country where we watch violence erupt, this cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country," said Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
