A massive search continued on Sunday for a suspicious man in the fatal shooting of the state representative of Minnesota, Melissa Hortman and his husband, and a separate shot against another state legislator and his spouse, the authorities said.
The 57 -year -old Vance Boelter human hunting extended on its second day after Saturday’s twin attacks in Champlin and Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, and the discovery in the suspect vehicle of an alleged target list of dozens of Minnesota Democrats, including Governor Tim Walz, the American representative Ilhan Omar, the senator of the United States Smith and state attorney general, the Andeño, according to the right of the law.
The FBI offers a $ 50,000 reward for information that leads to Boelter arrest.

“At this time we are asking the public if you locate it, if you see it, call 911. Do not approach it. You should consider it armed and dangerous,” said Superintendent Drew Evans of the Minnesota Criminal apprehension Office at a press conference on Saturday.
The sources tell ABC News that the authorities looking for Boelter have found a “vehicle of interest” in Sibley County, out of Minneapolis, along with “personal items” that is believed to be associated with him. Now there are many teams from officials responsible for enforcing the law looking for the area, sources said.
The suspect’s wife was arrested to interrogate after a traffic stop near Onamia on Saturday morning, multiple sources of application of the law to the Minnesota Abc News KSTP affiliate said. She was released without being arrested, according to KTSP, which reports that her vehicle was stopped.
It is suspected that Boelter enters the houses of legislators disguising themselves as a police officer, even arriving at the victims’ house in a vehicle that looked like a police cruise equipped with intermittent emergency lights, authorities said.
