Vance Boelter, the suspect wanted in connection with the political assassination and attempted assassination of Minnesota legislators, has been captured, sources confirmed with Alpha News.
According to radio traffic, he was tracked into the woods in Sibley County. When a drone flew overhead, he put his hands in the air and walked toward officers in a SWAT vehicle.
Multiple sources say he was spotted near a residence in Green Isle and began running down a driveway into the woods, wearing all black with a backpack. At one point, he was tucked in the fetal position and then began to army crawl until he eventually stood up to surrender.
His capture brings to an end a nearly 48-hour nationwide manhunt that began Saturday at 2 a.m. when authorities say he shot Minnesota Democratic Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette at their home in Champlin. Hoffman and his wife survived.
Boelter then traveled to Democratic House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman’s home in Brooklyn Park, where police say he shot and killed her and her husband Mark while posing as a police officer.
