JUNIATA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a Nebraska state trooper has been wounded and a suspect killed in an early-morning shootout with police.
The Nebraska State Patrol says a woman called 911 Tuesday night to report a man firing a gun outside a home in Juniata, a village of about 800.
Troopers and Adams County sheriff's deputies surrounded the south-central Nebraska home and tried negotiating with the man, but repeatedly came under fire.
The patrol says around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday a trooper was shot in the arm.
The patrol says when the suspect later came out of the home holding a gun, he was fatally shot by a patrol SWAT team member.
The trooper was treated at a hospital and released.
