BELLE PLAINE, Minn. (AP) — The man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another crawled to officers in surrender Sunday after they located him in the woods near his home, bringing an end to a massive, nearly two-day search that put the entire state on edge.

Vance Boelter was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and two of attempted murder. He is accused of posing as a police officer and fatally shooting former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home early Saturday in the northern Minneapolis suburbs.

Authorities say he also shot Sen. John Hoffman, a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette. They were injured at their residence about 9 miles (about 15 kilometers) away.

“One man’s unthinkable actions have altered the state of Minnesota,” Democratic Gov. Tim Walz said at a news conference after Boelter’s arrest.

1. A relief that he was caught.

".... in the woods near his home"
Good. I was worried that he was a guy with connections, and was able to disappear to Russia or some other MAGA-aligned country.
Now to make sure that he has charges in the state of Minnesota, so Traitor-In-Chief can't pardon him.

2. He fancied himself a mastermind genius, he is just a stupid punkass killer.

3. A stupid, RELIGIOUS punkass killer.

The worst kind.

4. He is not religious. It is just an excuse to kill people.

Actual religious people are not stone cold murderers.

5. Did not mean to imply that there's anything wrong with being religious

Just that, when it's added to a desire to kill.....

6. I know. Nothing wrong with your wording or content.

7. Please, dear God, don't charge him with a felony.

Trump will have his pardoning pen out fasting than lightning.
