Overview
- Vance Boelter surrendered to law enforcement in a Sibley County woods late Sunday, ending what officials called the largest manhunt in Minnesota history.
- He is charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree attempted murder and is expected to face federal charges that could include the death penalty.
- Former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed in their Brooklyn Park home, while Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette survived multiple gunshot wounds and are recovering after surgeries.
- Investigators recovered a fake police-style SUV, uniforms, notebooks and a target list of about 50 to 70 names showing Boelter’s premeditated plan to target Democratic lawmakers and abortion rights advocates.
- State and federal officials have condemned the politically motivated attack and are continuing a joint investigation involving the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the FBI.
