Boelter Popped Near Home!
KSTP, the ABC affiliate in Minneapolis, says Vance Luther Boelter was apprehended around 10 p.m. Sunday. Minnesota State Police took the fugitive into custody in a heavily wooded area within Sibley County, just southwest of his Green Isle home.
Boelter had stunned Minnesotans with a brazen act of political assassination, allegedly killing two victims and wounding two others in the early morning hours on Saturday. Boelter’s wife Jennifer also was detained Sunday, taken into custody after she was found in a car containing weapons, cash and passports. Like her husband, she also worked previously for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, starting in 2010 as an intern.
Meanwhile, we are learning more about a hit list found in Boetler’s abandoned security vehicle. Some 70 individuals were identified as being targets for assassination, among them, Walz himself, as well as Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar and U.S. Sen. Tina Smith — all Democrats from Minnesota.
Those attacked Saturday by Boelter included a former Speaker of the Minnesota House, Melissa Hortman, and her husband, both murdered, and State Sen. John Hoffmanm along with his wife, both shot multiple times and still in critical condition. In his home attacks on Saturday, Boelter wore a mask bearing the likeness of Walter White, the villain from TV show Breaking Bad. Here’s more from Viva Frei.
