(AP) — A rural Columbus man has been charged with third-degree assault after shooting his neighbor.
The shooting happened late Thursday night.
The Platte County Sheriff’s Office says 30-year-old Trent Kowalski shot a .22-caliber rifle inside his trailer home. The bullet exited the home, entered another and struck 57-year-old Mark Foxvog in the leg.
Foxvog was taken to Columbus Community Hospital, where he was treated and released.
Kowalski was arrested and taken to the Platte County Detention Facility, where he is still being held. No bond had been set.
The sheriff’s office and Nebraska State Patrol are investigating.
