He said his girlfriend was shot after he got into an altercation with the intruder, sheriff’s officials said in a statement Tuesday. Romig, 52, was arrested Monday after admitting he might have killed Kaufmann-Ruff during an “out-of-body” experience, sheriff’s officials said. On the day of his arrest, Romig told investigators he often blacked out for periods of time and heard voices, sheriff’s officials said.
