A Minnesota man is in custody after allegedly shooting two state lawmakers and their spouses, killing two Saturday morning. 

Vance Luther Boelter, 57, was captured in Sibley County after a two-day manhunt and now faces state and federal murder charges, among other crimes.

A man faces charges of murdering former Minnesota House Speaker, Democrat Melissa Hortman, and her spouse, Mark, during the early hours of Saturday at their residence in Brooklyn Park, Minneapolis. Allegedly, he also targeted state Senator John Hoffman, likewise a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette, in a connected assault at their home in Champlin nearby.

Authorities with the Sibley County Sheriff’s Office informed Fox News that Boelter “verbally” identified himself to officers who were searching for him in the locale on Sunday evening.

“The embodiment of malevolence,” the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office shared in a Facebook update on Sunday, coupled with an image of Boelter’s arrest. “Following unwavering and dedicated law enforcement efforts, the perpetrator is now detained. Gratitude goes to the commitment of various agencies collaborating alongside community support, bringing justice a step nearer.”

In the days since the shootings, officials have released more information in court records, establishing a clearer timeline of events:

June 14

U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson announced new federal charges against the suspect, including two counts of stalking, two counts of murder and two counts of gun-related crimes related to the Saturday shootings.
