Minnesota Manhunt Ends With Suspect Arrest in Lawmakers' Fatal Shootings

Vance Boelter was arrested after a nearly two-day manhunt for the suspected killer of Minnesota Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, as well as the shooter who wounded State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Boelter allegedly posed as a police officer to carry out the attacks at the victims' homes in northern Minneapolis suburbs and Champlin. The manhunt, described as the largest in Minnesota's history, involved multiple tactical teams and the use of helicopters before Boelter surrendered to police in a wooded area near his home. Democratic Governor Tim Walz called Hortman's murder a "politically motivated assassination" and condemned the violence. The FBI offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to Boelter's arrest, and President Donald Trump condemned the shootings, vowing full prosecution. Boelter faces charges including two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder.
