The Nebraska Fish and Game Association will host a classroom clinic Jan. 19 at Yanney Heritage Park’s Environmental Resource Center in Kearney from 1 to 5 p.m. This clinic will feature presentations by some of Nebraska’s top ice fishermen.

A park entry permit is required at Fort Kearny. Cancellation of an on-ice clinic for lack of safe ice would be posted on Game and Parks’ Facebook page.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A man convicted of manslaughter in South Dakota has died after serving more than 16 years in a Nebraska prison.

The Department of Correctional Services says 57-year-old Daniel Stetter died Friday afternoon at a Lincoln hospital, where he was being treated for long-term medical conditions.

Stetter was convicted of manslaughter, two counts of first-degree assault and driving in intoxicated in South Dakota. He was arrested after a 1991 crash that killed one person and injured two others.

Stetter was transferred to the Nebraska State Penitentiary in April 2002.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Forecasters say holiday travelers returning home should beware: A winter storm front is menacing most of Nebraska and southern Iowa.

The National Weather Service issued winter storm watches Friday for both states. Expected winds gusting to 35 mph (56 kph) could create whiteout conditions with snowfall varying from 2 to even 8 inches (5 to 20 centimeters) in some spots.

The late fall system is expected to hit western Nebraska on Saturday afternoon, surging east and exiting Iowa by Sunday night.

A disturbance in Kearney resulted in a man being shot multiple times with a pellet gun.

At approximately 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 22nd, 2018, Kearney Police Officers were dispatched to the emergency room at CHI Good Samaritan Hospital in reference to a 26-year-old male that reported he had been shot at his residence in Kearney.

The investigation determined that the incident occurred during an altercation involving several subjects at a residence, near 30th Street and 5th Avenue in Kearney. It was also determined that the victim has been shot more than one time with what is believed to be a BB / Pellet gun.

The victim has been treated and released from the hospital.

This is an on-going investigation and police are asking anyone with information about this incident to contact the Kearney Police Department at (308) 237-2104 or Buffalo County CrimeStoppers at (308) 237-3424.
