Heavily armed and dressed in tactical armor with a silicone mask hiding his face and a police-style badge, Vance Boelter made a convincing police officer – so much so that a real police officer mistook him for a fellow cop.

New details about Vance Boelter, accused of fatally shooting a state lawmaker and her husband, were revealed in court documents.

Vance Boelter, 57, has been charged in the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses. The Hennepin County Attorney said Monday that her office intends to pursue first-degree murder charges against him as well.

Authorities arrested and charged Vance Boelter on Sunday night after he allegedly shot and killed House Democratic leader Melissa Hortman and her husband in their Brooklyn Park home and shot and seriously injured state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife in their home in Champlin.

Eric Rudolph hid in the North Carolina wilderness for years after he bombed Centennial Olympic Park, a gay nightclub, and two abortion clinics; Boelter lasted a mere weekend. Yet both men belong to the same lineage.

Boelter, 57, arrived in federal court in an orange jumpsuit and slippers and was unshackled as he sat next to a defense lawyer, according to a report.

It was a proactive decision from an experienced officer that allowed police to first confront suspected shooter Vance Boelter, starting a exhaustive manhunt that would end 43 hour
