Vance Luther Boelter, the suspected gunman in the shootings of two Minnesota state lawmakers, has been arrested by authorities after a two-day manhunt.
According to ABC News, Boelter, 57, was arrested near his farm in Green Isle, Minnesota, after being spotted on a nearby trail via a camera.
Police had earlier discovered his alleged vehicle, along with a hat near it that was believed to be Boelter’s.
On Sunday afternoon, officers also briefly detained Boelter’s wife at a traffic stop in Onamia, a small city over 100 miles from Green Isle. She was later released after questioning.
The arrest follows a manhunt for Boelter, the alleged gunman who, while impersonating a police officer, shot former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, along with state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife. Hortman and her husband both died, while Hoffman and his wife are out of surgery after being injured in shooting.

Police exchanged fire with Boelter following a wellness check at Hortman’s residence, before he fled on foot.
That spurred a weekend-long manhunt, with the FBI previously offering $50,000 for any information leading to Boelter’s arrest.
