Nobles County Sheriff Kent Wilkening reported Thursday that there have been no arrests in the fatal shooting of a southwestern Minnesota woman in her home early Wednesday morning while she was sleeping.

Her husband said in a 911 call that he awoke to a shot and found his wife in her bed shot in the chest. He also said he found a shotgun shell on the floor and the back door open.

The Ramsey County medical examiner has officially identified the woman who died as Janette Krista Pigman-Kruse, 40, of 652 Second Ave. in Brewster.

Pigman-Kruse died as a result of homicide due to a gunshot wound, the sheriff said.

The sheriff’s office and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding Pigman-Kruse’s death. Besides Pigman-Kruse’s husband, the couple’s daughter was also in the home. Neither was hurt.

The sheriff’s office reports that while there does not appear to be any threat to the public at this time, it is always a good idea to remain vigilant and contact law enforcement about any suspicious activity.
