Commissioner of Public Safety Bob Jacobson added:
“This is a dark day today for Minnesota and for democracy. We will not allow fear or violence to define who we are, or how we move forward.”
Ongoing Manhunt and Safety Alerts
Boelter remains at large as of Sunday, and authorities have urged the public not to approach him.
“The suspect exploited the trust our uniforms are meant to represent,” Jacobson said. “That betrayal is deeply disturbing.”
As the state reels from this tragedy, questions continue to swirl around the suspect’s affiliations, access to firearms, and potential connections to extremist ideologies.
More details are expected following the full release of the suspect’s manifesto and as law enforcement continues the manhunt.
The FBI said they’re offering a $50,000 reward for information that leads to the “arrest and conviction” of Boelter. Local, state, and federal law enforcement are currently searching for Boelter, who is considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 immediately.
