State Senator Ann Rest, a Democrat, credited police officers who were proactively checking on her safety with sparing her from an attack.

A two-day manhunt ended Sunday night as police captured the suspect, Vance Boelter, in a field. No force was used.

The Minnesota assassination is causing some state legislators to rethink home security and how much personal information they make public.

A Minnesota state representative and her husband were killed early Saturday, and a state senator and his wife were injured.

It was not immediately clear who was targeted in the Saturday morning shootings in Champlin and Brooklyn Park, Minn. The police said the gunman may be wearing body armor and impersonating an officer.
