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.
