Boelter, 57, was arrested at about 9 p.m. June 15. He is accused of shooting the two Democratic state legislators and their spouses in the early morning hours of June 14. The Minnesota State Patrol took him into custody in rural Sibley County, roughly 50 miles southwest of Minneapolis.

The suspect is accused of fatally shooting Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their home. He also shot Minnesota state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, at their home — but they survived the attack.
