NOWATA, Okla. (AP) — Authorities say two people are in custody and a manhunt is underway in southeastern Kansas after an Oklahoma police officer was shot in the head during a pursuit.

South Coffeyville Police Chief Wade Lamb said when an officer tried to pull over an SUV Thursday, the vehicle took off.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says shots were fired from the SUV at an Oologah police cruiser that was assisting in the chase, striking the officer, who was airlifted to a Tulsa hospital. His condition wasn’t released.

Authorities say two of the vehicle’s occupants were taken into custody after police used stop sticks.

Lamb says a third escaped, carjacked another car and shot the driver. Lamb says the suspect made it to Liberty, Kansas, before crashing and fleeing on foot.

A search was underway late Thursday.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say a 21-year-old Omaha man has died after a collision between his pickup and a sedan.

The accident occurred around 7:30 p.m. Thursday at an intersection in southeast Omaha.

The Omaha Police Department reports that witnesses say Zachary Henson accelerated away from a disturbance and drove east around a vehicle that had stopped at the intersection. Henson’s truck was then struck by a southbound sedan, which had the right of way.

Police say Henson died shortly after arriving at a hospital and that no one in the sedan was injured.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Union Pacific Railroad is undertaking a major track renovation project on its main line east of Grand Island and as far as Columbus.

Union Pacific will replace 36,000 concrete rail ties and put in place 153,000 tons of new ballast. The project is estimated to cost $13 million and is scheduled to be completed the first week of August.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha man has been convicted of three counts of bank robbery and faces a potential life sentence.

According to a U.S. Attorney’s Office press release, 28-year-old Quantal Blake was convicted Thursday. He faces a $250,000 fine on each count.

Prosecutors say Blake and another man robbed a Premier Bank in February 2014. The car they used was found abandoned a few blocks away.

In March, prosecutors say the two men attempted to rob the same bank, but the lobby was not yet open. They struck another vehicle as they fled, and then and abandoned their car.

According to prosecutors, the men robbed a First Westroads Bank later that day.

Authorities linked Blake to the robberies through his electronic monitoring device that he was required to wear because of a prior robbery conviction.

ELGIN, Neb. (AP) — A federal agency says it is looking into the death of construction worker in northeast Nebraska.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration says the 40-year-old worker, whom it did not name, died Wednesday morning. The agency says the worker was operating a 90-ton crane along a county road, when the crane slipped into the ditch, overturning and killing the worker.

A message left for Antelope County Attorney Joseph Alber, who also serves as the county coroner, was not immediately returned Thursday.

OSHA said Thursday that the worker was employed by Tradesman International of Omaha, and was working for Wanzek Construction Inc. of West Fargo, North Dakota, on the construction of a wind farm near Elgin.

OSHA said it will also investigate complaints alleging other hazards to workers at the site.
