MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Violence and fear swept through towns in an arc around Minneapolis for more than 40 hours over the weekend as a man seemingly intent on sowing political devastation killed one Minnesota state lawmaker and left another bleeding from nine bullet wounds.

Vance Boelter, 57, has been charged in the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses. The Hennepin County Attorney said Monday that her office intends to pursue first-degree murder charges against him as well.

Vance Boelter has been formally charged in the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, with the FBI revealing that he visited the homes of several other elected officials on the same night he fatally shot State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, and separately wounded State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife.

Drones and aircraft were key in Minnesota's largest manhunt, helping capture an armed and dangerous man without further violence, reflecting a broader trend of law enforcement's growing reliance on aviation technology.

Boelter, who has been called a Marxist and a Christian nationalist, had ties with Christ for the Nations, an influential school among nondenominational charismatic Christians.

Two Nevada residents, formerly of Minnesota, have been charged with conspiracy to engage in voter registration fraud, according to an announcement by Acting U.S

The name suspected of shooting lawmakers in Minnesota was expected to make his first court appearance. Former senior FBI profiler Mary Ellen O’Toole says that authorities will be working to verify his past to help identify a motive.

A suspect is in custody after Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot Saturday, while State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were wounded.
