A suspect in custody has been charged with murder following targeted shootings that killed one Minnesota lawmaker and injured another. Gov. Tim Walz called the shootings "politically motivated" in a news briefing on Saturday.

Vance Boelter was captured in a wooded area on Sunday night, and charged in the shootings of two state lawmakers and their spouses. His first court appearance is scheduled for Monday.

The man accused of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another went to the homes of two other lawmakers to carry out more carnage on the night of the shootings. But one of the other lawmakers was not home and the suspect left the other house after police arrived.
