OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A former University of Nebraska football star
is recovering from a gunshot wound at an Omaha hospital.
Omaha police say Tony Veland was shot about 9:15 p.m. Monday as he sat in a sport utility vehicle near Benson High School, where he
was a prep star.
No arrest has been reported.
Authorities say Veland’s wound is not believed to be
life-threatening. A Creighton University Medical Center spokesman
said Tuesday that no information on Veland would be released.
Veland starred in the defensive backfield for Nebraska in 1994
and 1995 before playing in the NFL with the Denver Broncos.
