Suspected Minnesota lawmaker assassin Vance Boelter captured

MINNEAPOLIS - Multiple Minnesota law enforcement sources confirmed the Sunday evening arrest of lawmaker shooting suspect Vance Boelter in Sibley County to Fox News.

Boelter, 57, is accused of killing Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, early Saturday morning at their Brooklyn Park home in Minneapolis. He is also accused of shooting State Sen. John Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette, in their nearby Champlin home.

The Sibley County Sheriff's Office told Fox News that Boelter "verbally" identified himself to authorities searching for him in the area on Sunday evening.

Drew Evans, superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said Sunday that law enforcement officials were trying to locate and arrest Boelter on federal and local warrants.

"There is information that led us to do the searches…in Sibley County," Evans said, adding later that Boelter's vehicle and a hat that appeared to belong to the suspect were located in that area. He encouraged anyone around the Sibley County area who sees anything suspicious to contact police.

Evans said authorities are sifting through 400 tips and described Sunday's search as "fluid."

Authorities have said the suspect targeted lawmakers in a planned attack, showing up at their homes wearing a police-like uniform and a mask.

Democratic Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar shared a message from Hoffman's wife on Sunday, saying the state senator was shot nine times and she eight.

"John is enduring many surgeries right now and is closer every hour to being out of the woods," Yvette wrote. "He took [nine] bullet hits. I took [eight] and we are both incredibly lucky to be alive. We are gutted and devastated by the loss of Melissa and Mark. There is never a place for this kind of political hate."

Officials said Boelter had signs in his vehicle that read "No Kings." Cities across the United States had "No Kings" protests — expressing disapproval of the Trump administration's ICE raids — scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

JJ Spaun wins 2025 US Open with incredible back-nine capped by 64-foot birdie putt

J.J. Spaun has powered through the tough course conditions, terrible weather and heat of competition to win the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club on Sunday. 

Spaun, who turned pro in 2012 and has just one PGA Tour win under his belt, has captured his first major of his career at a course that consumed some of the game's biggest stars. 

He did so in dramatic fashion, too, as Spaun closed the door with a birdie at the 18th, a long, winding putt from 64 feet to secure the victory. It was the longest putt made by anyone in the field over four rounds.

Spaun shot 66-72-69-72 to finish his week as the only player under par at Oakmont. 

Oakmont was as advertised this week, with some of the game’s best like Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and more struggling to find answers for its tough greens, thick roughs, and the pouring rain that came down on Sunday certainly didn’t help matters for those vying for the championship. 

Golf’s toughest test this year, though, was tamed by Spaun on Thursday when he left as the field’s leader after 18 holes, shooting a 4-under 66. He returned on Friday and didn’t see the same results, going 2-over, but he certainly wasn’t out of it. 

After posting a 1-under on Saturday, Spaun knew he was in position to make a run at his first-ever major, but Sunday’s start wasn’t at all what he had in mind.

Spaun had five bogeys in his first six holes, as he started to tumble down the leaderboard. In the past, Spaun has said he would be discouraged with this type of performance, but as he was righting his Sunday ship, a weather delay put a halt on play. 

When he returned to the course, a different Spaun emerged. The back nine was truly his, shooting par on the first two holes before birdying Hole 12 and then Hole 14 to get his round to 3-over on the day. 

At this point, multiple players were in the hunt, separated by a shot, if not tied on the leaderboard. Spaun gave one back with a bogey on 15, but he was money on Hole 17 and 18 with back-to-back birdies to seal the win. 

While his putt on 18 was nothing short of incredible, Spaun’s drive on 17 landed perfectly short of the green and it rolled up for a chance at eagle. While he missed that putt, he would bury his next one just over three feet with a chance to win on 18. 

Robert MacIntyre, the Scottish left-hander, was already in the clubhouse waiting intently for Spaun’s performance on his final hole of the weekend. MacIntyre’s 2-under 68 led him to a 1-over finish for the tournament. A bad hole from Spaun and the trophy could be his. 

But cameras caught the moment MacIntyre watched Spaun nail the long putt on the 18th green, and he finished second for the tournament. The rounded out top 10 are as follows:

It was a week that tested both physical and mental fortitude, and Spaun came out the victor of the talented group. 

Spaun also completed his Father's Day with his daughters Emerson and Violet, as well as wife Melody, with a celebration at the 18th green.
