MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Violence and fear swept through towns in an arc around Minneapolis for more than 40 hours over the weekend as a man seemingly intent on sowing political devastation killed one Minnesota state lawmaker and left another bleeding from nine bullet wounds.

Accused Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter's alleged plan to kill more politicians on his target list was foiled by a police sergeant's proactive hunch.

Vance Boelter turned from decades as a food-service manager to launching security firms and far-fetched African ventures.

Vance Boetler, the man accused of shooting multiple Minnesota lawmakers on Saturday, was arrested in Green Isle on Sunday

Notebooks found in Boelter’s car reveal the chilling, meticulous planning he allegedly put into the twisted attack on two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses.

Officials say Vance Luther Boelter 'stalked his victims like prey,' Boelter faces multiple state and federal charges.

"It's unsettling. It's unfortunate. It was scary," Rep. Greg Landsman said, speaking Tuesday after it was reported his name was included on notes from the suspect accused of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and injuring another.

Officials from several states were listed in the Vance Boelter's manifesto. Boelter shot two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses.

The suspect in the shooting of four people, including two high-ranking Minnesota politicians, has been detained in the woods near Green Isle, Minnesota after a “Complex and dangerous manhunt,” according to Gov.
