Two days of terror: How the Minnesota shooter evaded police and got caught
But it was enough to deceive the police for two days as he went on a shooting spree in Minnesota, killing three people and injuring two more. Boelter, 44, had a history of domestic violence and had recently lost his job as a security guard. He was armed with an AR-15 rifle and a handgun when he began his rampage on Thursday, targeting his ex-girlfriend and her family, as well as random victims. Authorities launched a manhunt for Boelter, but he managed to evade capture by changing his appearance and using his knowledge of police tactics to stay one step ahead. He even used a police radio scanner to monitor their movements. On Saturday, after a tip from a member of the public, police finally caught up with Boelter at a gas station in New Hope. He was taken into custody without incident and charged with murder and attempted murder. Police Chief Mike Siitari praised the community for their assistance and urged anyone in a similar situation to come forward and seek help. "We cannot do our jobs without the public's help and support," he said. The shooting has sparked discussions about gun control and domestic violence, with many calling for stricter laws to prevent similar tragedies from occurring. The small town of New Hope is still reeling from the two days of terror, but residents are relieved that the shooter is now in custody. The victims' families are left to grieve and try to make sense of the senseless violence. This shooting serves as a reminder that domestic violence is a serious issue that can escalate quickly and have devastating consequences. It also highlights the importance of strong community support and cooperation with law enforcement in preventing and stopping these types of crimes."
