The gunman accused of shooting two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota has been taken into custody.
Vance Boelter, 57, was arrested late Sunday night for the murders of Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the attempted murder of Democratic State Senator John Hoffman and his wife.
He is facing both state and federal charges, with authorities announcing on Sunday that there is both a 'nationwide warrant' for Boelter's arrest for the murders and attempted murder at the state level as well as a federal warrant for 'unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.'
Boelter, a Trump supporter, was tracked into a field in Sibley County and when a helicopter flew overhead, he put his arms up in the air and walked over to a nearby SWAT vehicle, according to reporter Liz Collin.
His arrest came just hours after authorities located his car, a Buick that appeared to be dumped in Faxon Township, and found a cowboy hot lying on the ground that was identical to one Boelter was wearing in CCTV images released by the FBI.
By around 4pm, a four-door dark blue Buick Regal sedan was seen being removed from the search area on a flatbed truck.
Meanwhile, state troopers equipped with rifles and full body armor went house to house searching yards, outbuildings and garages in a rural part of the county.
Minnesota State Patrol, SWAT Teams and a US Marshals Fugitive Task Force were seen arriving in a dozen or more armored vehicles complete with rooftop snipers at around 11am Sunday.

Worse kind of person -
“Boelter, a Trump supporter...”
HUH?
Waiting for Democrats to talk about his “due process” rights …
That's why Tampon Tim appointed him. 🤡
Boelter, a Trump supporter
based on what?
Doesn’t appear to be Trump supporter. He is a in with the Democrats.
Trump supporter? Based on what?
I notice this article just makes up a statement “ Boelter, a Trump supporter, …”
New York Post article. Based on his roommate saying he voted for Trump, he liked Trump and the roommate said he liked Trump, too. Said Boelter didn’t like abortion. Drudgereport today was going with multiple links of Boelter being a mad MAGA.
You can always count on the DailyMail to lie.
Hands in the air to a drone....
Not at all like the old time killer types.
Ma Barker and her sons were ambushed at home by 14 FBI agents who shot an estimated 2,000 rounds at them in their house before deciding they were dead and entering the house.
I saw that cavalier, unsupported statement and decided not to bother wasting my time reading the rest. Did they ever give even one iota of evidence to support that claim?
Where is the tv coverage that he was appointed by Timothy Walz?
Two thread yeste4rday had the facsimile of the hiring signed by Walz.
I guess Tampon Tim made a mistake appointing a Trump supporter to a state commission.
Lol.
Shooting Democrats, of course.
Daily Mail is a trashy leftwing news outlet.
There are and will be other sources for this breaking story.
Here’s the link from NYPost

Here’s the Drudgereport link which I refuse to click on.
And a YouTube link I also refuse to click on.

Shooting suspect’s roommate says he was a Trump voter
Too bad he didn’t get the memo.
Trump doesn’t support murder.
I stopped reading the propaganda right there.
