He was in army fatigues in a corn field and was crawling in the dirt when apprehended.

so sayeth:
https://stateline.org/2025/06/16/suspect-in-minnesota-killings-faces-state-and-federal-murder-charges-death-penalty-possible/

This story first appeared in the Minnesota Reformer.

The Hennepin County prosecutor will pursue first-degree murder charges against Vance Boelter, the suspect arrested in the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband. Boelter also was charged with six federal offenses, including stalking, murder and firearms charges.

In addition to the murder of Melissa and Mark Hortman, Boelter is accused of shooting state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. Both are expected to recover. Boelter visited the homes of two other state legislators who were unharmed, including Sen. Ann Rest in New Hope. The other target has not been disclosed, but officials say she is a Maple Grove representative.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office initially charged Boelter with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.

- cut -

The U.S. Attorneys’ office brought federal charges against Boelter on Sunday night. The charges include two counts of stalking using interstate facilities, two counts of murder, and two firearms offenses for the shooting of the Hortmans and Hoffmans. The federal murder charges carry the potential for the death penalty.

U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi condemned the attack in a press release. (grudgingly, I'd imagine)

They should have assumed she was helping him to escape, if nothing else, and held her until he’d been located.

I suppose they might have thought to follow her surreptitiously, hoping she’d lead them right to the murderer, but it’s still weird with an active search going on.

It’s preventing the possible escape of a political terrorist and murderer.

Most of these psychopaths choose to commit suicide to being captured.

Gee, he'll give white nationalism a bad name if he has to go to prison just for killing Democrats.
