Early Saturday morning, when a man dressed like a police officer knocked at the home of a Minnesota state legislator, marked the start of nearly 40 hours of violence and fear that swept through towns in an arc around Minneapolis.

The suspect remains at large while hundreds of law enforcement officers from multiple agencies conduct an intensive manhunt.

Vance Boelter, the suspect wanted for fatally shooting a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband has reportedly been identified, according to the Associated Press.

Prosecutors say the man charged with killing one Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another had dozens of apparent targets, including officials in at least three other states.

The killing of a Minnesota lawmaker is the first deadly attack against a politician in the state in more than three decades.

Two senators say the shooting shows it's time to address how people's private information is sold and shared online.

Authorities are searching for a man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers. Authorities have identified him as 57-year-old Vance Boelter, of Green Isle.
