The public was warned of not being approaching the 57 -year -old, and he was armed when the police officers arrested him in a rural area in Sebley Province, southwest of Minneapolis.
A huge chase was launched on Saturday after Melissa Hortmann and her husband were killed at their home, while officials called it a “political motivation”.
Police officers said that the same gunman opened fire and wounded the democratic Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Evit, at their home nine miles early on Saturday morning.
The officers responded to reports of the shooting at Hoffman's house shortly after two in the morning and they were both with multiple wounds.
Then they logged into Hortman's house and saw something similar to the police car and a man wearing an officer who left the front door.
“The individual immediately fired the officers, who exchanged fire, the suspect retreated to the house,” said Brooklyn Police chief Mark Broalli.
Until his arrest, Potler was last seen on Saturday morning in the twin cities area wearing a light -colored cowboy hat, light pants and a long -sleeved shirt.
The police quickly presented a means of importance and a cowboy hat that believed that Potter was wearing it when he was last seen.
Several AK rifles and a list of about 70 names, which included politicians and abortion rights activists, were found inside the car.
La Kings – a group against President Trump's overthrow of power – was found in the car.
Evidence is found on the 25th highway in Sibli Province almost in the middle of the road between the island.
Boetler faces two second -degree murder charges and two accusations of attempted second -degree murder.
Hoffman and his wife, Evitte, were severely shot at nine and eight times, and they were forced to undergo emergency surgery.
After their exit from the operation room, the ruler Tim Walz said that he was “optimistic with caution because they will survive in the assassination attempt.”

Evit said on Sunday that he was his wife, “It is closer every hour to get out of the forest.”
Boetler was previously appointed to Walz, who publicly confirmed the “indescribable tragedy” from the death of “his dear friend and colleague” Melissa Hortmann and her husband Mark – who died at the scene.
He said on Saturday: “Our country has lost a great leader and lost the best friends,” said on Saturday.
Boetler has worked in the same state's workforce development council like Hoffman, according to records, although it is unclear whether they know each other or not.
The Hoffman family revealed how his wife, Evet, used her body as a shield when a gunman opened fire in his home.
