Police are searching for 57-year-old Vance Boelter, the suspect in the assassination of a Minnesota lawmaker and the attempted assassination of another.
Although Boelter lived in the small town of Green Isle about an hour outside Minneapolis, he often stayed in the rented home of his longtime friend in the city, David Carlson.
Carlson, 59, spoke with reporters Saturday night in front of his home after returning from the lumber store to buy plywood for the windows, which had been busted open by a SWAT team earlier in the day.
“He wasn’t a hateful person,” Carlson said, adding that he and Boelter have known each other since attending fourth grade together in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota.
“But he needed help.”
Carlson said Boelter was a conservative who voted for President Donald Trump and was strongly against abortion rights. But he said Boelter never mentioned any particular issue with the lawmakers who were shot, and said he was stunned to learn that he is a suspect in the attacks.
“It wasn’t the thing that defined him,” he said. “I mean, it was, wasn’t his total existence. He would talk about other things.”
Carlson said Boelter was having financial problems and struggling with finding work.
“He was looking around, but maybe things didn’t work out and he just gave up and decided to go out in the blaze of glory,” he said. “I have no idea what he was thinking.”
