In Minneapolis on Valentine's Day, a man walked into the second floor offices of his ex-girlfriend and loudly confronted her. He followed her as she fled into the women's restroom where they argued briefly and he shot her. He then fled the building and the state. She died (Star Tribune, February 15, 1996).
