A man suspected of killing a lawmaker in Minnesota and wounding another was taken into custody Sunday evening, police officials said. This concludes the nearly two-day manhunt that put the midwestern state on edge.

The man was arrested near his farm in Green Isle, Minnesota.

The suspect, who posed as a police officer, shot and killed former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their Brooklyn Park home in the northern Minneapolis suburbs early Saturday.

Before the arrest, authorities had said they found a car, hat and other items belonging to the suspect, who fled on foot early on Saturday, when officers confronted him at Hortman’s home.

Police said the same person shot and injured Senator John Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife at their home 14 kilometers away.

Hoffman underwent surgery after being hit with nine bullets, according to a text message his wife sent to Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar. The lawmaker posted the message on X earlier on Sunday. “We are both incredibly lucky to be alive,” Yvette Hoffman said in the message.

Friends and family of the suspected shooter said he was deeply religious and went to campaign rallies for US President Donald Trump.

In the car, officials found fliers for a local ‘No Kings’ rally scheduled for Saturday and a notebook with name of other lawmakers. This list also included names of abortion rights activists, healthcare officials, and policemen.

Both Hortman and Hoffman defended abortion rights at the state legislature.
