Local police say the incident began early Monday morning, when the on-again-off-again couple got into an argument inside their home.
They say the woman was upset because she couldn't find her keys, and she thought her boyfriend must have taken them.
Police say the argument continued for hours, and in the afternoon the woman began swinging around a hammer.
