Minnesota Suspect Arrested After Two-Day Manhunt for Lawmakers' Killing

Minnesota authorities apprehended 57-year-old Vance Boelter after a nearly two-day manhunt for the suspected murderer of Democratic state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Boelter allegedly posed as a police officer to carry out the attacks, also shooting Democratic Senator John Hoffman and his wife, who survived and are recovering from serious injuries. The extensive manhunt involved 20 SWAT teams and multiple agencies, described as the largest in Minnesota's history. Law enforcement found weapons and a list of political targets in Boelter's possession, indicating a politically motivated attack linked to abortion issues. Governor Tim Walz condemned the violence, emphasizing the profound impact on the state and the victims' families. Boelter faces multiple charges including second-degree murder and attempted murder, with the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office examining potential federal charges.
