The man accused of carrying out a targeted shooting against two state lawmakers and their spouses, local media is now reporting that his wife, Jenny Boelter, was detained and questioned during a traffic stop that revealed a cache of alarming items in her possession — including a gun, ammunition, large amounts of cash, and multiple passports.
According to a bombshell report by KSTP-TV, the vehicle carrying Jenny Boelter and three other family members was stopped outside a convenience store near Onamia, Minnesota, around 10 a.m. Saturday morning — just hours after authorities launched a manhunt for her husband.
While KSTP stopped short of naming Jenny, The New York Post confirmed her identity as the wife of the fugitive suspect, Vance Boelter, who is wanted in connection with a brutal shooting in Minnesota.
KSTP reported:
Now, multiple law enforcement sources have told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS a traffic stop at a convenience store located near Onamia late Saturday morning involved a vehicle which was carrying Boelter’s wife, as well as three other relatives.
Sources say a traffic stop was done between 10 and 11 a.m. A witness says about a dozen law enforcement squads converged on the vehicle and remained on the scene for two to three hours.
Two sources tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the vehicle contained a weapon, ammunition, cash and passports. However, to our knowledge, no one has been arrested – just questioned.
It also hasn’t been disclosed as to why the vehicle was stopped, whether it was being tracked, or if it was a random traffic stop.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Minnesota officials have released new photos of Vance Luther Boelter, 57, the person of interest in the deadly shootings targeting two Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor party lawmakers early Saturday morning.
Speaker Emerita Rep. Melissa Hortman, 55, and her husband Mark were shot and killed in their Brooklyn Park home by a man dressed as a police officer. Sen. John Hoffman, 60, and his wife Yvette were shot and wounded in their nearby Champlin home shortly before the Hortman shooting. The shooting scenes are about eight miles apart.
POI Boelter has changed his clothes from the shooting, where he was seen wearing blue clothing and a clear mask (photos further below.)
Police described the 220-pound, six-foot-one-inch Boelter, with brown hair and eyes, as wearing a light-colored cowboy hat, a dark, long-sleeved, collared shirt or coat, and carrying a dark bag.
Surveillance camera photos from what appears to be the Hoffman home show the suspect in blue police type clothing, a badge, and a clear face mask/head covering holding the storm door open as he tries to gain entry:
