Charges dropped against Lutzi
Olmsted County Attorney Ray Schmitz is dropping attempted 2nd degree murder charges in the case against 20-year-old Jade Allen Lutzi.
Police say Jade Lutzi allegedly shot his roommate Joshua Krukow and another man, Carl Sanford, after hearing about a noise violation at his apartment.
Until recently, police had not been able to interview the victims.
Once they had, Schmitz says he believes Lutzi was actually shooting in self-defense after he was assaulted by one of the men.
The man says he assaulted Lutzi, then forced his way into a bedroom where Lutzi was hiding with the intention of continuing the assault.
Lutzi fired the shots as the man entered the room.
Lutzi was released from custody earlier this week.
