The Minden Police Department had responded to a report that a woman had brandished a firearm during a visit from a counselor and had made threatening statements directed at the Kearney County Courthouse.
The courthouse was evacuated and the Minden Police Department obtained a search warrant for an apartment at the residence of 124 East 5th St. in Minden. Upon SWAT’s arrival, numerous attempts were made to communicate with the subject inside the apartment, but the subject did not respond.
