(Hibbing, MN) -- A former Chisholm police officer has admitted fatally shooting one man and wounding two others in a local bar in March of 2010.

Forty-nine-year-old Jason Musburger was to stand trial next week for first-degree murder in the death of 40-year-old Edward Walberg - but pleaded guilty Thursday to second-degree murder and a pair of attempted murder charges. The criminal complaint says Musburger went into Jim's Sports Club with two hand guns and shot three men sitting at a table with his ex-wife.

Musburger has agreed to serve more than 40 years in prison. The sentence hearing is scheduled for April 5th.
