The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of Vance Boelter, the suspect in the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses.
Authorities released several photos of Boelter, including one taken Saturday that shows him wearing a cowboy hat and another that shows him wearing a latex mask at one of the victims’ homes.
Boelter is accused of fatally shooting Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband early Saturday, and of wounding state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife in what authorities believe were politically motivated attacks. Both shootings occurred at the lawmakers' residences, which are located several miles apart.
Police were initially called to Hoffman’s home following reports of gunfire. After responding, officers began conducting wellness checks on other lawmakers. Not long after, they encountered the suspect at Hortman’s residence, where he fired several rounds at them before fleeing.
