OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man shot Tuesday morning by a Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy had fired a gun at another deputy and had earlier threatened to shoot police if confronted.

Sheriff Tim Dunning said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference that a deputy stopped 32-year-old Taylor Culbertson in a west Omaha convenience store parking lot, suspecting Culbertson was drunk. Dunning says Culbertson got out of a sport utility vehicle and fired a handgun at the deputy. A struggle ensued, and another deputy who arrived on the scene shot Culbertson, who was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

An officer safety bulletin sent out June 8 by the sheriff’s department warned that Culbertson was likely armed and had threatened to shoot police if confronted.

The deputies were not injured.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — University of Nebraska-Lincoln police say they haven’t located any suspects in a reported fight on campus in which one person brandished a handgun.

Assistant Police Chief Todd Duncan said Tuesday that the department was still investigating the incident from around 9:45 p.m. Monday on a campus basketball court.

Police sent an alert to students, parents and university employees after receiving the report. Residents in nearby university housing units were told to stay inside, but the alert was lifted about an hour later.

Duncan says police found no fight when they arrived, but witnesses told them it had happened and that one person had flashed a gun.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is trying to determine how prevalent the plague is in northern Colorado after a 16-year-old boy died of the disease, which was possibly spread by fleas on his family’s rural property.

Taylor Gaes (Gays) died June 8 after coming down with what he thought was a bad case of the flu, but tests confirmed it was a rare form of the plague.

The most common type of plague, bubonic, affects the body’s lymphatic system. But Gaes is believed to have had septicemic plague, which spreads directly through the bloodstream.

Cases of plague are rare, with an average of seven human cases nationally a year.

County health officials are working with the CDC to test animals on the family’s property near Fort Collins for the plague.
