'Largest manhunt in state history,' Minnesota shooting suspect
The two lawmakers killed

Vance Boelter, the suspect in the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their wives, was arrested Sunday.

A local police chief described the pursuit to capture Boelter as "the largest manhunt in the history of the state."

State Representative Melissa Hortman — the top Democrat in the Minnesota House of Representatives — and her husband were shot to death in a “politically motivated murder,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said. Democratic State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were shot by the same person, Walz said.

Authorities said Sunday that the search was aided by more than 400 tips from the public. Investigators found a list of nearly 70 names in the suspect's car, mostly Democrats or figures associated with abortion rights.

The recent attacks on Democratic state lawmakers are indicative of deep divisions in the country, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said in a written statement announcing Boelter's arrest.

"As a country, we cannot become insensitive to this violence. We are a deeply divided nation. That has become even clearer over the last two days," Walz said.

“The way we move forward and solve the problems facing our nation must not be through hatred. It is not through violence. It is through humility, kindness and courtesy.”

Walz acknowledged the pain and grief experienced by the Hortman family and urged community members to find solace in the couple's memory and "Melissa's legacy of selfless, pragmatic and gentle public service."

"As we heal, we will not let fear win," Walz said.
