The suspect, identified by authorities as Vance Luther Boelter, posed as a law enforcement officer to gain access to the victims' homes.

Boelter is wanted for killing State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, as well as wounding State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife.

The man accused of assassinating the top Democrat in the Minnesota House held deeply religious and politically conservative views, telling a congregation in Africa two years ago that the U.S. was in a “bad place” where most churches didn’t oppose abortion.

The man sought by authorities for allegedly shooting Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota on Saturday worked for a security company that advertised a fleet of ‘police type vehicles.’
