Sally Nugent forced to halt BBC show live to deliver 'breaking news'
BBC Breakfast was halted live on air as Sally Nugent issued a breaking news update to viewers. It came following a fatal shooting of democratic state politician Melissa Hortman and her husband in Minnesota over the weekend. Sally shared with viewers that a man had been arrested following the incident. Vance Luther Boelter, aged 57, was captured on Sunday (June 15) night after an extensive two-day search operation for the killings that occurred the day before, YorkshireLive reports. READ MORE: Drug dealer who hid cocaine in Vaseline tubs jailed Speaking on the show, Sally said: "Police in the US state of Minnesota have arrested a man suspected of killing a democratic politician and her husband." Viewers were then shown an image of the man alongside a breaking news banner. Sally continued: "Officers released this photograph of the suspect, who was captured in what the Minnesota Governor Tim Walz described as a complex and dangerous manhunt. "Melissa Hortman and her partner were shot on Saturday after the attacker posed as a police officer." It has also been reported that the apprehended individual is accused of shooting and injuring another democratic legislator, state Senator John Hoffman, and his wife, Yvette, at their residence nearby. Following the arrest news, Minnesota Mayor Jacob Frey took to Facebook, commending the exceptional "skill and bravery" displayed by multiple law enforcement agencies in catching the suspect. "I'm grateful that our law enforcement partners in Minnesota acted with urgency to arrest the shooter and bring him to justice," he wrote. "Political violence is abhorrent, it cuts against the most basic moral fabric of our democracy. It's critical that those who commit these acts be held accountable under the law. I'm glad that will happen here." You can get all your favourite content from BirminghamLive on WhatsApp. Click here to sign up for breaking updates about the biggest stories in the region.
