The FBI and state authorities confirmed that Vance Luther Boelter, 57, was captured Sunday night in rural Sibley County, Minnesota, after a two-day manhunt following shootings that resulted in the deaths of former state House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the wounding of Senator John Hoffman and his wife mprnews.org+15reuters.com+15nypost.com+15.

He now faces federal charges—including two counts of murder, stalking, and weapons offenses—as well as state-level charges of second-degree murder and attempted murder for the targeted killings and shootings of Democratic legislators and their spouses abcnews.go.com+2people.com+2en.wikipedia.org+2. Prosecutors say he meticulously planned the attacks, using surveillance notes, a fake police uniform, a hyper-realistic silicone mask, and a target list of around 45 elected officials en.wikipedia.org+4reuters.com+4people.com+4.

Federal and state prosecutors are exploring whether to upgrade charges to first-degree murder and consider seeking the death penalty in federal court thesun.ie+2people.com+2en.wikipedia.org+2.
