What did the Feds find in Vance Boelter's house? Here's a full list
Vance Boelter, accused of shooting lawmakers in Minnesota, was arrested and found with multiple firearms and tactical gear.
Last week, Federal authorities cuffed the accused Minnesota shooter, Vance Boelter, for carrying out the deadly shooting of lawmakers.
He is now facing severe federal charges, including two counts of murder with a firearm, stalking charges related to Rep. Melissa Hortman and Sen. John Hoffman.
Since then, the Fed search continues. Earlier this week, they found five additional firearms, including an AK-47 and a “large quantity” of ammunition in Boelter's SUV. They also recovered duffel bags loaded with tactical gear, a hit list, and a discarded rubber mask.

Boelter’s wife also spoke with police on 14 June, the day of the attacks. She said she received an early morning text from Boelter in a family group chat. The message read like a goodbye note, per the search warrants.
“He was sorry,” she reportedly told investigators.
He also sent her a direct message urging her to leave their home and go to a relative’s place in northern Minnesota, telling her to take the family’s belongings and get out to avoid being “implicated in this.”
Notably, the search warrants also revealed that Boelter had recently ordered a silicone face mask from Amazon, which his wife also confirmed.
The federal case also notes that when Boelter’s wife was pulled over in Mille Lacs County on Saturday, she agreed to a vehicle search. Inside, officers found two pistols, another $10,000 in cash, and passports for all of their children and Boelter himself.
