MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Madison police say the person who killed UW-Madison student Brittany Zimmerman broke into her apartment.

Police say they generally withhold this type of information if the investigation is ongoing, but opted to release it so neighborhood residents could take safety precautions.

Zimmerman's killer broke through a door to get in. The 21-year-old Marshfield native was found dead April second.

An autopsy determined Zimmerman died of a complexity of traumatic injuries,'' but authorities weren't specific.
