Vance Boelter has been charged in the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses. Boelter, 57, is charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree attempted murder, according to the criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County Court on Saturday.
Officials say Vance Luther Boelter surrendered to police in a wooded area near his home. He faces multiple charges in a targeted attack on lawmakers.
State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed and State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot and wounded in “targeted shootings” in Champlin and Brooklyn Park, two neighboring suburban cities 10 to 20 miles outside Minneapolis.
A manhunt ended after a man suspected in the killing on Saturday of a state lawmaker and her husband was arrested on Sunday. Here is how the events unfolded.
Surveillance footage captured an attempted murder, according to charges unsealed Sunday: A man wearing a mask, a blue shirt and police-style tactical vest with a badge knocked on a door in Champlin and announced himself as a police officer. He then entered the house and shot Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman and his wife.
