LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln police say a security guard accidentally shot himself at a north Lincoln gun range.

The 34-year-old man, who works for Kansas City, Missouri-based security guard firm VT-SGI, was target shooting at Thunder Alley on Tuesday morning before the accident.

Lincoln Police Capt. Jeri Roeder says that when the man went to put his gun in holster, it went off, hitting him in the upper right leg.

Police say the man’s injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Lincoln City Council has approved a downtown redevelopment project that will include parking, retail, office space and apartments.

The council voted Monday evening for the $85 million City Centre proposal. A New York-based developer, Newman Development Group, will build on property now occupied by the Journal Star. Although the land is near the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the 238 apartments will not be aimed at students.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police have arrested two men suspected of killing a Lincoln man reported missing by his family.

One was booked into Lancaster County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder. The other was booked on suspicion of aiding and abetting murder. Court records don’t show that they’ve been formally charged. Police say the two have been in custody since Jan. 12 on drug charges.

Police say the two are suspected in the disappearance and slaying of 35-year-old Phillip Madlock. His family reported him missing July 10.

Investigators say the two men had been looking to collect a drug debt from Madlock. Investigators think he was killed in Lincoln and his body dumped outside Lancaster County.

Police Capt. Danny Reitan declined to say Tuesday whether the body’s been found.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former Nebraska state senator has filed election papers seeking to reclaim his old seat.

Sen. Steve Lathrop of Omaha announced Tuesday that he has formally entered the race to represent District 12 in the Legislature. Lathrop is looking to return after a four-year hiatus. He served as a state senator from 2007 until 2015, when term limits forced him to leave office.

Lathrop is running against incumbent state Sen. Merv Riepe, who is seeking re-election. Riepe is a Republican in the officially nonpartisan race. Lathrop is a registered Democrat.

Lathrop, an attorney, played a major role in several legislative investigations during his tenure, and oversaw changes to the once-problem-plagued Beatrice State Developmental Center. He also led some of the early investigations into the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A woman faces an additional charge in the April strangulation of a man on an American Indian reservation in Nebraska.

39-year-old Natasha Wolfe, of Winnebago, has been charged in a Jan. 19 federal indictment with aiding and abetting second-degree murder in the April 23 death of 32-year-old William Redhorn Jr. She was previously charged with being an accessory after the fact — a charge that still stands.

She’s accused of kicking Redhorn once during his fatal fight with her son and another man. Authorities say that after the fight, Wolfe let 19-year-old Jeremiah Wolfe and 21-year-old Lawrencia Merrick go to her house and wash their bloody clothes.

Authorities say Jeremiah Wolfe put Redhorn in a headlock until he quit struggling. Jeremiah Wolfe and Merrick have pleaded not guilty to federal charges of second-degree murder.

All three are scheduled to stand trial on March 5.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An education official from Philadelphia will become the new superintendent of Omaha schools, the state’s largest district with about 52,000 students.

The Board of Education selected Cheryl Logan as the district’s superintendent at a special meeting Tuesday night.

Logan will come to Omaha from Philadelphia, where she works as the chief academic officer and is responsible for academic achievement for the school district’s 135,000 students. Before working in Philadelphia, Logan worked as a principal and teacher in Maryland.

She was chosen from 74 candidates who applied for the position. The other finalist was Harrison Peters, deputy superintendent of Hillsborough County Schools in Tampa, Florida.

The 55-year-old Logan will replace Mark Evans, who is retiring after about five years as superintendent.

WINNEBAGO, Neb. (AP) — Federal agents are investigating the tobacco businesses run by the economic development arm of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.

Investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives visited the headquarters of Ho-Chunk Inc. on Tuesday.

Ho-Chunk spokesman Sam Burrrish says the company is cooperating with investigators who are looking at records related to tobacco sales.

Ho-Chunk owns dozens of businesses in several different industries, including Rock River Manufacturing that produces cigarettes on the tribe’s reservation in northeast Nebraska.

The Winnebago Tribe also owns the WinnaVegas Casino near Sloan, Iowa.

MELBETA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is investigating the disposal of dozens of carcasses of game birds in western Nebraska.

The commission says the carcasses of 33 ducks and 52 Canada geese were tossed into a waterway southwest of Melbeta late last week.

None of the meat had been removed. The commission says anyone who abandons an edible portion of game or doesn’t dispose of game carcasses in a sanitary manner commits wanton waste. That’s a misdemeanor violation of Nebraska law punishable by up to three months in jail, a $500 fine or both.

Authorities say the man fell about 80 feet shortly before 4 p.m. Friday. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

He was later identified as 39-year-old Rafael Ayala Orozco. He lived in Grand Island.

Authorities are investigating what happened.

SEWARD, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have arrested a man and seized more than 340 pounds of marijuana in eastern Nebraska.

The Seward County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy pulled over a speeding sport utility vehicle Friday on Interstate 80. The office says the deputy smelled marijuana, and a drug dog taken to the scene alerted officers to the drug’s presence as well.

The office says the pot was found inside the SUV. The driver was arrested on marijuana and related charges. Court records don’t show that he’s been formally charged.

The value of the drugs was estimated at more than $1.5 million.
