From The Washington Post:
After killing two and wounding two more, and leading law enforcement on a two day manhunt, authorities have the suspect they seek in the attacks in cuffs: Vance Boelter
For nearly two days, authorities had been searching for 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter, a resident of Green Isle, Minnesota, a small town in Sibley County about 45 miles southwest of the Twin Cities.
The search began after a gunman opened fire on state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife in the quiet Minneapolis suburb of Champlin early Saturday before driving about 10 miles to the neighboring suburb of Brooklyn Park, home of state Rep. Melissa Hortman, the former speaker of the Minnesota House. Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed, while Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, survived and remain hospitalized in serious condition.
The suspect in the case posed as a police officer to gain entry to the homes of the two lawmakers, authorities have said. The gunman fled after a shootout with police following the second of the two predawn attacks, leaving behind a chilling trove of evidence and a sprawling police search.
Earlier on Sunday, law enforcement authorities in Green Isle found another car associated with Boelter and seized belongings they believed relevant.
At about 9 p.m. local time, law enforcement apprehended Boelter. A grim-faced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said that violence cannot be the way the country deals with its political differences, after announcing the apprehension of Vance Boelter on suspicion of killing a lawmaker and her husband.
“One man’s unthinkable actions have altered the state of Minnesota,” Walz said.

Boelter was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder, according to a complaint unsealed in Hennepin County District Court Sunday night. The FBI will review whether federal charges should also be issued, said Drew Evans, the superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.Police said they have not found evidence of Boelter making previous threats to politicians. They have not found a “traditional manifesto” associated with Boelter laying out a motive for the crimes.
Still, authorities believe that the shootings were deliberate and targeted. Officials have said they found in one of Boelter’s cars a roster of dozens of names, including Democratic lawmakers and people who are supportive of abortion rights and other liberal causes. They also found “No Kings” fliers, sparking worries for law enforcement that the suspect may have wanted to attack one of Saturday’s gatherings protesting President Donald Trump.
The list included Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minnesota), prominent abortion rights advocates and, according to a Democratic lawmaker from Wisconsin, at least 11 Democratic legislators from that state. Other names on the list came from across the Midwest, including Michigan, Illinois and Iowa, according to Evans.

It would be irresponsible not to speculate.
Well as you might expect the GOP and MAGA are speculating away …
