Police have discovered a car they believe Vance Boelter — the suspect in the shootings that left one Minnesota politician dead and another gravely injured — was driving … abandoned far from the scenes of the crimes.
The Sibley County Sheriff’s Office told CNN … they found the car they believe Boelter was driving about 50 miles southwest of the Twin Cities Sunday morning. The shootings occurred in Brooklyn Park and Champlin — two suburbs of Minneapolis.
CBS reports that a discarded cowboy hat was found near the vehicle. Remember, a photo obtained by law enforcement yesterday showed Boelter in a Minneapolis business with a cowboy hat on. Unclear if this is the same one.
While there isn’t currently a shelter-in-place order in the area, deputies are asking citizens to exercise caution and stay vigilant.
Yesterday, Vance’s wife — Jenny Boelter — was pulled over and detained just hours after the shooting occurred, according to 5 Eyewitness News, citing law enforcement sources. Cops allegedly found a weapon, ammunition, cash and passports in the car.
