MINNEAPOLIS—The suspect in the shooting of Minnesota lawmakers on Saturday was feeling down and unhappy with his work situation, but showed no signs that he could turn violent, his self-described best friend and part-time roommate said.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension reports that Boelter was last seen on Saturday morning in Minneapolis, after the shootings, wearing a light-colored cowboy hat, a dark long-sleeve shirt, and light pants while carrying a dark cross-body bag.

Vance Luther Boelter is accused of killing Democrat Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and injuring two others.
