Two guns used to kill man, autopsy shows
Band leader Ambrose (Butch) Wolf was shot several times by two weapons, an autopsy revealed Saturday, according to Stearns County Coroner Lawrence Theines.
Wolf was shot to death in his home in Cold Spring, Minn., apparently on Thursday night. Authorities were called Friday morning after a family member found the body, Theines said.
It was originally believed that Wolf had been shot only once. A hunting rifle was found at the scene.
Meanwhile, a suspect remained in critical condition in St. Cloud Hospital after an apparent overdose of anti-depressant pills.
Wolf, 47, lead the Butch Wolf Concertina Band, a polka, country and western group that performed around the region.

POLICE HAVE SUSPECT IN COLD SPRING DEATH
Dateline: ST. CLOUD
Authorities have a suspect but have made no arrests in the shooting death of a Cold Spring band leader, Stearns County Sheriff Charlie Grafft said Saturday.
Grafft would not name the suspect.
Ambrose "Butch" Wolf, 47, of Cold Spring, bled to death 5 to 10 minutes after being shot while in bed, said Dr. Lawrence Thienes, Stearns County coroner.
Thienes said that after Wolf was shot he walked downstairs from his second-floor bedroom, through the kitchen and into a bathroom before he died.
Authorities found Wolf's body Friday after receiving a 911 emergency call and obtaining a search warrant to enter the house. Police would not say who made the telephone call.
Wolf's wife, Marcella, 47, also found in the home, was taken to St. Cloud Hospital by ambulance for treatment of what appeared to be an overdose of prescribed anti-depressants, Grafft said. She remained in critical condition Saturday.
Wolf was the leader of a polka, country-and-western and variety band that performed in the Upper Midwest and Canada.
Authorities said one bullet went through headboard of the bed and into a wall after striking Wolf. A high-powered hunting rifle was found in the house, and may have been used in the shooting, authorities said.
Grafft said Saturday that Wolf was shot more than once and that investigators are searching for a second weapon.

St. Cloud / Band-leader's wife is not guilty
The wife of the late old-time band leader Ambrose Wolf has been found innocent by reason of mental illness in the shooting death of her husband.
Judge Bernard Boland ruled Wednesday that Marcella Wolf, 48, of Cold Spring, Minn., did not understand the nature of her crime when she fatally shot her husband at their home in January.
During her trial, Marcella Wolf, who has been diagnosed a paranoid schizophrenic, testified that she shot her husband because he beat her.
The judge ordered that Wolf be held at the Minnesota State Hospital in St. Peter until a hearing next month to determine how long she should be institutionalized.
