Boelter, who has also worked as a pastor, has preached against abortion before, HuffPost’s Paige Skinner reports. Friends of the suspect had also told The Associated Press that he was religious, conservative and previously attended rallies in support of President Donald Trump.
The FBI offered a reward of up to $50,000 for information on Boelter during the manhunt. Local authorities issued a shelter-in-place and warned residents not to engage with any officers working alone, noting they had ordered officers to work in pairs.
