Prosecutor says suspect in Minnesota shooting went to 4 homes as he sought to kill lawmakers
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The man accused of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another went to the homes of two other lawmakers to carry out more carnage on the night of the shootings, a federal prosecutor said.
But one of the other lawmakers was was not home and the suspect left the other house after police arrived, said acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson.
Vance Boelter surrendered to police Sunday after they found him in the woods near his home following a massive manhunt that began early Saturday near Minneapolis.
“Boelter planned his attack carefully” by researching his intended victims and their families and conducting surveillance of their homes and taking notes, Thompson said.
