The man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers, killing one of them, has been taken into custody, a law enforcement official said.

NEW YORK (AP) — 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.

Police have been searching for Vance Luther Boelter, the suspect in the shooting of two Democratic state politicians from Minnesota.
