WASHINGTON — Sen. Amy Klobuchar said that authorities believe Vance Boelter, the 57-year-old suspect in a pair of "politically motivated" shootings, is still in the Midwest, noting that "he may be" in Minnesota and that authorities have put out an alert in South Dakota.

"We believe he's somewhere in the vicinity and that they are going to find him," Klobuchar, D-Minn., said during an interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press." "But right now, everyone is on edge here because we know that this man will kill at a second."

A Democratic Minnesota lawmaker and her husband were killed early Saturday in what Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., said appears to be "a politically motivated assassination."

State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were severely injured, Walz said. Authorities have identified the shooting suspect as 57-year-old Vance Boelter of Minnesota.

Klobuchar emphasized that if people see Boelter, they "should not approach him, that they should immediately call the tip lines and report."
