Phelps County man ID’d as victim of shooting

HOLDREGE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have released the name of a 31-year-old man who died after a shooting in Phelps County.

A news release from the Phelps County attorney identified him as Domonick Linden, of Holdrege.

Deputies responded to a call around 7:30 p.m. Monday about an accidental shooting at a residence north of Funk. They found Linden’s body outside the residence. He’d been hit in the head by a shot from a handgun, and Sheriff Gene Samuelson says there were witnesses at the scene.

An autopsy has been ordered. The county attorney’s office says foul play is not suspected.
