Man suspected of shooting 2 Minnesota lawmakers is in custody after surrendering to police

Bill Blain, Minnesota (AFP)-a man suspected of killing him in Minnesota and another wound crawling to the officers in surrender on Sunday after they put him in the woods near his home, putting an end to a huge inspection, nearly two days putting the entire state on the edge of the abyss.

Vans Powlet was arrested and charged with killing and two of the attempt to kill. He is accused of formation as a police officer and shooting former Democratic Council Melissa Hortmann and her husband, Mark, at their home early on Saturday in the outskirts of the northern Minneapolis. The authorities say he also shot Senator John Hoffman, Democrat, and his wife, Evit. They were injured at their residence, about 9 miles (about 15 km).

“I have changed the unimaginable actions of Minnesota,” the democratic ruler Tim Walz said at a press conference after the arrest of Poelter.

The Brooklyn Park Police chief said that the search for Powlter was “the largest chase in the history of the state.” It started when Brooklyn Park officers went to check Hortman’s house and saw her husband shot before the shooter fled.

Broley said that the authorities on Sunday were the Politer that he was using in the rural Cibli province, where he lived, and a police officer stated that he believed that he saw Bigz running in the forest. The police established a large environment and invited 20 different tactical teams, divided and searched the area.

During the search, the police said they had received information confirming that someone was in the forest and search for hours, using a helicopter and officers, until they found a Pigreter. The authorities said that he surrendered to the police, and toured the officers in the woods before the hands were caught and detained in a field.

Targeted attack

Drew Evans, the supervisor of the state’s criminal fear office, said the violence is likely to continue if Brooklyn Park’s offices were not examined at Hortman’s house, causing a Poilter to flee.

Hoffmanz was first exposed to their home in Champin early on Saturday. The criminal complaint, which was not submitted after the arrest of Poelter, indicated that their adult daughter was called 911 after two in the morning to say that a convincing person had come to the door and shot her parents.

After the nearby Brooklyn Park police learned that a legislator had been shot, they sent patrol officers to verify Hortanz’s house.

Brooklyn Park Park arrived in time to see a Poelter shooting Mark Hortmann through the open door of the house, says the complaint. She says they exchanged fire with Poilter, who fled to the house before escaping from the scene. Al -Shakawi said that Melissa Hortman was found dead inside.

The authorities said that Potter was a police officer, and he even changed a car to make it look like a police car.

There are no details about the motivation

The authorities did not make a motivation because they announced the arrest of Poilter.

A list of about 70 names was found in writings recovered from the fake police vehicle that left at the crime scene. The writings and list of lawyers in the states and community leaders included, as well as advocates of abortion rights and information about healthcare facilities, according to officials.

A Minnesota state official told the Associated Press adults who were honest in favor of abortion rights who were listed on the list. The official spoke on the condition that his identity is not disclosed because the investigation is continuing.

Boelter is a former politician who has served in the same state’s workforce development

At approximately six o’clock on Saturday morning, Politre wrote a text message to apologize for his actions, although he did not say what he did.

He wrote in the messages I saw: “I will go for a while,” he wrote in the messages I saw:

Escalation

The shootings come at a time when political leaders are exposed to the country, their harassment and intimidation amid deep political divisions. The legislators said they were annoyed by the attacks with the mourning of the inhabitants of the twin city.

Walz said on Sunday: “This cannot be the rule. It cannot be the way we deal with our political differences.”

On Sunday evening, American Senator Amy Kloposhar shared a statement from Evit Hoffman, expressing his appreciation to support public support.

“John bears many surgeries at the present time, and he is closer every hour to get out of the forest,” said Evit Hoffman in a text published by Klopuwshar on social media. “I got 9 bullet strikes. I took 8 and we are incredibly lucky because we are alive. We were destroyed and destroyed by the loss of Melissa and Mark.”

Flower flowers and small American flags were placed on Sunday on the gray gray stone of Mennisota, with a picture of Hortman. People gathered messages on small notes including, “I was our leader with the most difficult times. Rest in power.”

Bam Stein came with flowers and kneeling from the memorial. Stein’s emotional Hurtman described as “absolute power” and “the true hero of the Minnesota government”.
