The suspect remains at large while hundreds of law enforcement officers from multiple agencies conduct an intensive manhunt.
The man accused of assassinating the top Democrat in the Minnesota House held deeply religious and politically conservative views, telling a congregation in Africa two years ago that the U.S. was in a “bad place” where most churches didn’t oppose abortion.
While authorities are unsure of his current mode of transportation, they believe Boelter is still alive, one official said.
