Manhunt ends after shocking murder of Minnesota lawmakers

Boelter managed to avoid capture for nearly another hour, hiding out in the woods before eventually surrendering to law enforcement without resistance.

Moments later, authorities confirmed the shooter had been apprehended near his former home in Green Isle. Boelter reportedly crawled toward officers, identified himself out loud, and was then taken into custody without incident.

Officials confirmed that Boelter, the suspect in the Minnesota shootings, was armed when he was arrested, but they did not disclose the type of weapon he had.

He is currently being questioned at a undisclosed law enforcement facility.
