Manhunt continues for suspect in shootings of Minnesota lawmakers
The hunt for the man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses while impersonating a police officer, killing one legislator and her husband, continued on Sunday more than 24 hours after the killings. Vance Boelter, 57, now on the FBI's most wanted list, is believed to have left the Minneapolis region after allegedly gunning down Democratic state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their home, according to CNN. Boelter is also suspected of shooting Democratic state senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, at their residence, gravely injuring them; a relative posted on Facebook that they were out of surgery and recovering. Authorities have disseminated photos of Boelter to border patrol agents in case he tries fleeing to Canada, CNN said. The Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar said on Sunday that authorities believe Boelter remains in the midwest. Klobuchar said on NBC's Meet The Press that 'he may be' in Minnesota and that law enforcement has issued an alert in South Dakota. 'We believe he's somewhere in the vicinity and that they are going to find him,' Klobuchar said. 'But right now, everyone is on edge here because we know that this man will kill at a second.' An emergency alert was issued in Sibley county, which is approximately one hour from Minneapolis, around 12pm after Boelter's vehicle was discovered, according to local Fox anchor Chenue Her. 'Officials are telling residents nearby to take precaution as they continue searching for Boelter,' Her also reported. Klobuchar urged the public to be cautious if they see Boelter, warning they 'should not approach him, that they should immediately call the tip lines and report'. Police responded to a shooting at Hoffman's house at about 2am local time, then went to check on Hortman, who lives approximately 9 miles away. When they arrived there around 3.30am they encountered Boelter, who was dressed as a police officer. They said he exchanged shots with them before escaping on foot. Hoffman's nephew, Mat Ollig, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that both were recovering from surgery. In a Facebook post, Ollig said that Yvette saved their daughter's life. 'Early this morning, an absolute vile piece of shit dressed as a cop broke into my aunt and uncle's house and shot him 6 and my aunt 5 times in a political act of terrorism. My aunt threw herself on her daughter, using her body as a shield to save her life,' Ollig wrote. 'These two are the kindest, most giving and caring people I know. He went into politics to help people with disabilities get the care they need, and she works with young school children. They have always been there for me and everyone in our family and community.' Police said Boelter's uniform might appear authentic to most people. Boelter also drove a vehicle that appeared identical to an SUV police squad car, said Mark Bruley, a local police chief. 'It was equipped with lights, emergency lights, that looked exactly like a police vehicle, and yes, they were wearing a vest with Taser, other equipment, a badge very similar to mine, that, no question, if they were in this room, you would assume that they are a police officer,' Bruley said. Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, said the murders appear 'to be a politically motivated assassination'. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to Boelter's apprehension and conviction. He was added to the FBI's most wanted list on Saturday. Before the attacks he reportedly contacted two friends by text message, which they read aloud to the Star Tribune: 'I made some choices, and you guys don't know anything about this, but I'm going to be gone for a while. May be dead shortly, so I just want to let you know I love you guys both and I wish it hadn't gone this way.' He added: 'I don't want to say anything more and implicate you in any way because you guys don't know anything about this. But I love you guys and I'm sorry for all the trouble this has caused.' Authorities reportedly said that Boelter left a list of potential targets at the shooting scene. Multiple outlets have reported that it included pro-choice lawmakers, as well as reproductive health clinics. 'There clearly was some through line with abortion because of the groups that were on the list, and other things that I've heard were in this manifesto. So that was one of his motivations,' Klobuchar said. She also urged the public not to make any assumptions and allow investigators to work. 'But again, they're also checking out, did he have interaction somehow with these without legislators? Is there more to this?' The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that 11 lawmakers in the state of Wisconsin were also among the targets listed in Boelter's alleged manifesto. Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader, said on MSNBC that he expects to convene with congressional leaders to discuss ramping up security for lawmakers across the country in the wake of the deadly attacks. 'This should be another wakeup call amongst many that have happened over the last several years, including, of course, the violent attack on the Capitol that took place on January 6,' Jeffries said.

Protester shot dead at anti-Trump 'No Kings' rally
A demonstrator was shot dead at Salt Lake City's "No Kings" protest when a man believed to be part of the event's peacekeeping team fired at another man allegedly aiming a rifle at protesters. Police took the alleged rifleman, Arturo Gamboa, 24, into custody on Saturday evening on a murder charge, Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said at a Sunday news conference. The bystander, Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, died at the hospital. Detectives don't yet know why Gamboa pulled out a rifle or ran from the peacekeepers, but they accused him of creating the dangerous situation that led to Ah Loo's death. Redd said a man dressed in a brightly coloured vest fired three shots from a handgun at Gamboa, inflicting a relatively minor injury but fatally shooting Ah Loo. The gunshots sent hundreds of protesters running, some hiding behind barriers and fleeing into parking garages and nearby businesses, police said in a statement. "That's a gun. Come on, come on, get out," someone can be heard saying in a video posted to social media that appears to show the events. "No Kings" protests swept across the country Saturday, and organisers said millions rallied against what they described as President Donald Trump's authoritarian excesses. Confrontations were largely isolated. The Utah chapter of the 50501 Movement, which helped organise the protests, said in a statement on Instagram that they condemned the violence. The Utah chapter did not immediately respond to AP questions about the peacekeeping team. It was unclear who hired them, whether they were volunteers or what their training was prior to the event. Redd said that the peacekeepers' actions are also part of the investigation. The shooter and another person in a vest allegedly saw Gamboa separate from the crowd of marchers in downtown Salt Lake City, move behind a wall and withdraw a rifle around 8pm, Redd said. When the two men in vests confronted Gamboa with their handguns drawn, witnesses said Gamboa raised his rifle into a firing position and ran toward the crowd, said Redd. That's when one of the men dressed in the bright vests shot three rounds, hitting Gamboa and Ah Loo, said Redd. Gamboa, who police said didn't have a criminal history, was wounded and treated before being booked into jail. Police said they recovered an AR-15 style rifle, a gas mask and a backpack at the scene.
