Vance Luther Boelter, 58, has been sentenced to two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years in prison for the killing of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband, and for shooting at another elected official and his spouse. The sentence was handed down Thursday as part of a plea deal that allowed Boelter to avoid the death penalty.

Boelter pleaded guilty to the charges, which included murder and attempted murder. The details of the plea agreement and sentencing were reported by FOX 9.
