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.

St. Cloud State graduate Vance Boelter appeared in federal court Monday afternoon. He is assigned a public defender, citing financial woes.

A federal prosecutor said Vance Boelter went to the homes of four politicians in a deadly rampage in Minnesota on Saturday.

Minnesota authorities arrested Vance Boelter, the suspect in the assassination of Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband and the failed assassination attempt of Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, on Sunday afternoon after a daylong manhunt.

Ohio Representative Greg Landsman's name was found by the FBI in evidence of Minnesota murder suspect Vance Boelter, leading to increased security for Landsman.

It’s scary,’’ Democratic state Sen. Ann Rest said — shortly after it was revealed that Boelter had allegedly shot and wounded another Minnesota senator and his wife before  parking near her home

He wounded Sen. John Hoffman and his wife but didn’t come into contact with the two other DFL legislators, investigators say.
