Ready for another plot twist in the absolutely chilling and increasingly bizarre case of the Minnesota shooting?
Last night, the (alleged) assassin Vance Boelter was captured and arrested.
Prior to this, we were told that police discovered ‘No Kings’ flyers in his car, as well as a manifesto and apparent hit list.
But now, in a press conference, the FBI is claiming otherwise.
According to the FBI, there is no manifesto…
Watch this:

So what? Were police mistaken?
Did the manifesto we were told existed just vanish into thin air?
Or was it destroyed?…
There was until the feds scrubbed it.

During the press conference, the FBI also revealed more details about the insane nightmare of a scenario that went down this weekend…
According to the FBI, Vance Boelter got into shootout with police outside of Rep. Melissa Hortman’s home before entering and killing her and her husband.

NEW: Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Boelter got in a shootout with police at former House Speaker Melissa Hortman’s home before barging in and killing her.
The announcement was just made during a press conference.
“Before he entered the home, two Brooklyn park police officers arrived at the scene. They had been dispatched…”
“When they arrived at the scene, they saw Boelter’s black SUV parked in the driveway with the emergency lights flashing.”
“They saw Belter standing in front of the house several feet from the door. When Boelter saw the officers get out of the car, he drew his weapon and began firing…”
In addition, the FBI revealed that Vance Boelter actually went to the homes of not two, but four, Minnesota elected officials that night of the murder…
Per CBS News:
The FBI revealed during a separate conference Monday morning that Boelter had gone to the homes of two other Minnesota lawmakers the night he killed Hortman and her husband and injured the Hoffmans. After the shooting at the Hoffmans’ home, Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson says Boelter went to a state representative’s home in Maple Grove. However, that lawmaker had been on vacation and was not home at the time.
Boelter then allegedly moved on to the home of a state senator in New Hope. After learning about the shooting of the Hoffmans in Champlin, a New Hope police officer went to the senator’s home to do a wellness check. The officer arrived to find what appeared to be another officer’s squad car, later identified as Boelter’s vehicle, parked outside the home. The officer tried to engage in conversation with Boelter, but he did not respond. By the time more officers arrived, Boelter was gone.
The FBI did not identify either of the two other lawmakers whose homes Boelter allegedly targeted, though state Sen. Ann Rest, DFL-New Hope, said in a statement on Monday that she’s been “made aware” that Boelter’s SUV was parked near her home Saturday morning.
“I am so grateful for the heroic work of the New Hope Police Department and its officers,” Rest said. “Their quick action saved my life.”
Thompson says Boelter then went to the Hortmans’ home in Brooklyn Park. Upon arrival, police officers saw Boelter several feet from the door. He instantly drew his weapon and began firing at the officers before he rushed inside the house, firing at the front door. He then shot and killed the Hortmans.
Federal investigators allege Boelter stalked his targets and planned his attacks carefully, researching the victims and their families as well as conducting surveillance on them “for an extensive period of time.”
“This was a political assassination,” Thompson said Monday.
Just recently, we also got Vance Boelter’s alleged ‘hit list’…but there are many details about it that are just…not quite right.
