Charges: Minn. man used hammer in domestic attack
Officials say a brutal home invasion in Blue Earth was carried out by a jealous husband who used a hammer to assault his wife and another man while they were in bed, then attacked his wife's two teenage daughters.
Faribault County officials charged 29-year-old Brian Daniel Freeman of Ceylon with one count of murder and multiple counts of attempted murder for the attack that killed 37-year-old Christopher Michael Fulmer of Blue Earth.
Freeman's wife, 38-year-old Candice Marie Freeman, and the two teens suffered life threatening injuries.
The complaint says Brian Freeman wore a mask and hit his victims multiple times in the head Monday. He told authorities he believed he struck Fulmer, but didn't recall specifics.
After the attack, he called 911 then left.
Freeman's attorney did not immediately return a phone message.
