Patrol: Trooper fatally shot man who'd been making threats

ARNOLD, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska State Patrol says a trooper fatally shot a man who'd been shooting animals and threatening his father and officers in central Nebraska.

Troopers had joined Custer County deputies in responding to a standoff at a home north of Arnold on Monday morning.

Troopers blocked the man when he tried to drive a utility vehicle off the property around 6:10 p.m.

The patrol says he got out of the vehicle, ignored commands that he remove one of his hands from a pocket and moved aggressively toward a trooper. The trooper then shot him.

He's been identified as Print Zutavern.
