Suspect's vehicle found in Sibley County as search intensifies for Vance Luther Boelter, wanted in connection with fatal shooting of Minnesota lawmakers in targeted attack.

The man accused of assassinating the top Democrat in the Minnesota House held deeply religious and politically conservative views, telling a congregation in Africa two years ago that the U.S. was in a “bad place” where most churches didn’t oppose abortion.

Law enforcement officials on Sunday searched residences of Vance Luther Boelter, a suspect in the killings of a state lawmaker and her husband.

The gunman who killed a Democratic state lawmaker and injured another in Minnesota was apprehended late on Sunday night, a reporter for a ABC affiliate posted on X.

The man sought by authorities for allegedly shooting Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota on Saturday worked for a security company that advertised a fleet of ‘police type vehicles.’

The man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers, killing one, remains on the loose more than 36 hours after the shootings took place.

From the pulpit on Sunday, Father Joe Whalen exhorted his parishioners to avoid the kind of extreme partisanship and hate that appeared to be behind the killing of one of the church's own, Democratic Minnesota state legislator Melissa Hortman.

The suspect, identified by authorities as Vance Luther Boelter, posed as a law enforcement officer to gain access to the victims' homes.
