“Minnesota Lawmaker Shooting Suspect Captured After Manhunt”

The suspect in the Minnesota lawmaker shooting that stunned the state and shocked the nation has been captured after a two-day manhunt. Authorities confirmed late Sunday that 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter was arrested in a wooded area near Green Isle, ending a multi-agency search that gripped Minnesota and drew national attention.

Boelter is accused of fatally shooting Minnesota Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman, a former House speaker, and her husband at their Brooklyn Park home early Saturday. He is also charged with the attempted murder of Democratic State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, who were shot and wounded at their residence in Champlin.

The Minnesota lawmaker shooting is being treated as a politically motivated attack, according to law enforcement and federal officials, who have not yet released a motive but confirmed that a $50,000 FBI reward had been offered for Boelter’s capture.

Multiple Charges Filed

The Hennepin County District Court has charged Boelter with two counts of second-degree murder with intent and two counts of attempted murder. His arrest was confirmed by the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department, who posted a photo of Boelter in handcuffs on social media.

“After relentless and determined police work, the killer is now in custody. Thanks to the dedication of multiple agencies working together along with support from the community, justice is one step closer,” the department wrote.

Reactions from State Leaders

Political leaders across party lines responded with a mix of relief and grief. Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth, a Republican, praised law enforcement and expressed hope for justice in the wake of the violence.

“I’m grateful that this nightmare has come to an end with the suspected murderer captured alive so he can be charged, prosecuted, and punished for the horror he has wrought on our state,” Demuth said in a statement.

The Minnesota lawmaker shooting has further intensified national debate as protests and political unrest continue to dominate headlines. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether Boelter acted alone or had affiliations with any political groups.

Ongoing Investigation

The investigation remains ongoing, and officials have not provided details on how Boelter was located, though they credit cooperation between local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.

Boelter is expected to appear in court later this week. More information is anticipated as the case proceeds and officials work to uncover what led to one of the most disturbing political acts of violence in recent Minnesota history.
