In a bizarre turn of events, Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Boelter was captured by authorities after a tense standoff that lasted for hours. But before he was finally apprehended, Boelter reportedly had some choice words for his family that left them in shock and disbelief.
According to sources close to the investigation, Boelter’s last words to his family before being taken into custody were, “I told you I was just going out for a pack of smokes! Who knew it would turn into a statewide manhunt?”
Boelter’s family, who had been frantically searching for him since news of the shooting broke, were stunned by his nonchalant attitude towards the situation. “We were all so worried about him, and here he is cracking jokes like it’s no big deal,” said Boelter’s cousin, Cindy.
But Boelter’s sense of humor didn’t stop there. As he was being led away in handcuffs, he reportedly turned to the officers and said, “Do you guys have any snacks? I missed lunch because I was too busy being a fugitive.”
The absurdity of the situation didn’t go unnoticed by onlookers, who couldn’t help but chuckle at Boelter’s comedic timing. “I can’t believe this guy is cracking jokes after being on the run for so long,” said one bystander. “He’s like a real-life action hero, except with a much weirder sense of humor.”
As Boelter was taken away in a police car, he shouted one final quip to his family, “Tell Aunt Linda I’ll be late for Thanksgiving dinner this year! I’ve got a court date to attend first!”
While the seriousness of the situation was not lost on anyone involved, Boelter’s bizarre behavior added a touch of levity to an otherwise tense situation. As the dust settled on the Minnesota shooting timeline, one thing was for certain – Vance Boelter may have been a fugitive, but he was also a comedian at heart.
