Local sheriff says Boelter's wife and other relatives were in car during stop

Local sheriff says Boelter's wife and other relatives were in car during stop


Earlier we reported that authorities had detained Jenny Boelter - wife of shooting suspect Vance Boelter - early on Saturday as part of their investigation.

Mille Lacs County Sheriff Kyle Burton confirmed to the BBC that his office assisted.

"Our role on this stop was perimeter. We did not search or question any of the occupants," he said of his office's role. "I was told by my staff who responded that the shooting suspect's wife was in the car along with several other relatives."

The stop took place near a convenience store in the city of Onamia.

Burton added that the incident was handled by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA).

The BCA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


I'm now outside the rental said to belong to shooting suspect Vance Boelter, in North Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Neighbour Kameko White says she knew Boelter and his roommates, and just the other day asked him for some help mowing her lawn. She says the men regularly gathered outside to smoke.

A few days ago she saw him smoking and writing in a notebook, she tells me.

"I knew exactly who he was. I see this man every day in his yard," she says.

White says police came to her door at around 10:00 local time on Saturday.

She asked her mother to dial 911 to verify the people at her door were actually police officers. Then, she says, police used her house to stake out the rental property across the street for about five hours
