The man accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses over the weekend has ties to Oklahoma.

Records show 57-year-old Vance Boelter once lived in Oklahoma in 2004 before moving to Minnesota.

The records don't show exactly where he lived in Oklahoma.

He is now charged in the murders of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband.

Investigators say he also shot and wounded State Senator John Hoffman and his wife and went to the homes of two other lawmakers on the night of the shootings.
