A secluded farming village has been raided by police and the bomb squad following the discovery of the abandoned car belonging to alleged fugitive Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter.

Late Sunday morning, a portion of Highway 25 in Faxon Township, Sibley County, 47 miles southwest of Minneapolis, was blocked off by heavily armed SWAT officers, as The Daily Mail reported.

Boelter and his wife Jenny lived on Green Isle, approximately eight miles away from Faxton. Jenny was pulled over by the police, and they discovered some suspicious objects in her car.

The Discoveries

The search for Boelter took palce after cops conducted a welfare check at Congresswoman Hortman's residence and discovered the two bodies shot before the assailant left, the pursuit for Boelter ensued, which has been dubbed the biggest manhunt in the state's history.

Later in the day, on June 16, Boelter's car was found near his house, having been left abandoned on the side of the road.

Police formed a perimeter consisting of twenty separate law enforcement teams after an officer reported seeing Boelter in the vicinity of the woods.

Boelter was apprehended after hours of searching; he voluntarily turned himself in and was subsequently brought into custody.  The Hennepin County Jail took in Boelter's booking in the wee hours of June 16.

A Retelling of Events

According to Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson, Boelter's alleged acts were "chilling." Thompson said that the suspect showed up to the Hoffmans in an SUV with emergency lights and a "police" license plate, dressed like a police officer.

"Boelter wore a black tactical vest and body armor. He carried a flashlight and a Beretta 9 mm handgun," Thompson said.

The supposed attacker wore a "hyper-realistic" mask, as the attorney testified, and he watched the whole thing unfold on Hoffman's security camera.

“I’ve seen the footage from that camera, and it is chilling,” Thompson went on. “Boelter knocked on Senator Hoffman's front door, and repeatedly shouted, ‘This is [the] police. Open the door.'"

What Happened Later

Boelter pointed a light at the victims' faces as soon as the congressman answered the door; it was only after the light was dimmed that they recognized he was not a police officer.

The Hoffmans' daughter apparently dialed 911 after the assailant shot her parents.

Reportedly, Boelter continued his shooting spree, moving on to the residence of an unidentified Minnesota state representative, where he reportedly knocked on the door still wearing in the disguise, but the individuals weren't home.

When asked about the security footage, Thompson described it as "haunting."
