Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced on Monday that Vance Boelter, 57, who is accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers, has been taken into custody. Prosecutors intend to pursue first-degree murder charges against him. On Sunday, Boelter was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder. Drew Evans, Superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, said that during the search, they received information confirming someone was in the woods. They searched for hours, using a helicopter and officers on foot, until they found Boelter. He surrendered to police, crawling out to officers in the woods in response to the commands by the S.W.A.T. teams before he was handcuffed and taken into custody in a field. "He was cooperative and cooperated with law enforcement and gave up peacefully at that time," said Evans. Boelter allegedly shot dead Melissa Hortman, the top Democrat in the Minnesota House, and her husband, Mark, in their home on Saturday. Authorities said Boelter also allegedly shot and wounded another Democratic lawmaker, state Senator John Hoffman, and his wife Yvette at their home a few miles away.
