OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a 4-year-old boy has been shot in a hand in northeast Omaha.

Officers and medics were sent to the home around 5:15 p.m. Sunday. The boy soon was taken to Nebraska Medical Center for treatment of his non-life-threatening injury.

Police haven’t released his name or other details about the shooting.

YORK, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska man who was convicted of killing his 12-year-old sister when he was 14 has gotten a new sentence.

On Friday a York County district judge sentenced 44-year-old Sydney Thieszen to 70 years to life, giving him an eventual chance at parole. Thieszen was convicted in 1988 of killing his sister, Sacha Thieszen, at their home near Henderson. Prosecutors say Thieszen killed his sister because he was afraid she would tell police he was running away from home.

Thieszen had filed a motion for post-conviction relief in 2013 in light of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that declared mandatory life-without-parole sentences unconstitutional for juvenile offenders.

SCHUYLER, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a 3-year-old Nebraska boy has died after a car power window closed on his neck.

Colfax County Attorney Denise Kracl (KRAHT’-suhl) said Monday that 3-year-old Everton Isay Romero Romero was pronounced dead Friday at an Omaha hospital. Kracl says Everton never regained consciousness after the window closed on him April 15 outside a store in Schuyler, where he lived.

She says it’s unclear how the window button was activated in the parked car. Everton’s mom had powered the rear window down. Investigators couldn’t determine how long the window was closed on the boy’s neck.

Kracl says no autopsy was performed because there’s no evidence any law was violated. She says the boy’s mother “acted appropriately the entire time.”

Schuyler is about 60 miles (95 kilometers) northwest of Omaha.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The death of a colleague’s son has spurred lawmakers in the often anti-regulation Kansas to toughen the state’s inspection requirements for amusement parks.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback signed legislation on Monday that strengthens amusement park regulations. The bill passed the House and Senate by wide margins.

The change comes after Republican Rep. Scott Schwab’s 10-year-old son, Caleb, died last summer on a waterslide at Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City, Kansas.

An investigation into the death is ongoing, but the waterslide, which was dubbed the world’s highest when it opened, has been closed since the accident.

The Schwab family has settled with the park’s owner, the manufacturer of the raft that carried riders down the slide, a general contractor and a consulting company.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Federal officials in South Dakota say 15 people have been indicted for illegally trafficking eagles and other migratory birds after a two-year undercover operation.

U.S. Attorney Randy Seiler said Monday that officials expect “significant” additional federal charges in the case.

Seiler says the investigation focused on trafficking of eagles and eagle parts such as feathers for profit. Authorities say the case likely involves hundreds of birds including more than 100 eagles.

Seiler described one operation as a “chop-shop for eagles.” Informants allegedly purchased bird parts such as eagle wings. Those accused include people from Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say an Omaha man shot by an officer earlier this week has been arrested and taken to jail after being released from a hospital.

Police say 31-year-old Dillion Trejo was released from Nebraska Medical Center on Saturday and immediately booked into the Douglas County jail. He’s charged with robbery, theft and several other counts.

Trejo was shot Monday by Omaha Officer Brooks Riley, a seven-year veteran, following a chase. Police say Trejo robbed a convenience store Monday, drove away and then stole a pickup truck. When he fled the truck on foot, the officer confronted him with his service gun drawn.

Police and prosecutors say the shooting was justified. Riley’s body-camera footage seems to show Trejo reaching into his waistband and simulating pulling a gun on the officer.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Two Lincoln Fire and Rescue captains are suing the department, saying their bosses retaliated against them for reporting harassment of female firefighters in the department.

Capts. Brian Giles and Troy Hurd say they were passed up for promotions while firefighters who were less qualified got the jobs. Hurd’s lawsuit says he also faced unwarranted disciplinary actions.

Hurd filed his federal lawsuit last year. A jury trial is scheduled for next year.

Giles filed his lawsuit Wednesday, saying retaliation against him began after he filed complaints that a woman at one station was arbitrarily placed on 18 months’ observation and was discouraged from applying for a rescue and hazmat job because “typically women are less mechanically-minded than men.”

Giles and Hurd seek unspecified damages.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two people have been arrested after police say a traffic stop turned up marijuana, hash oil and pot-infused candy in their car.

A Douglas County sheriff’s deputy stopped the couple’s car, which had California plates, Thursday afternoon. Authorities say the driver, from New York, admitted there was a significant amount of marijuana in the car.

Deputies say a search of the trunk turned up large duffel bags containing 71 pounds of marijuana, over 1,200 doses of hash oil and eight 4.5-pound bags of THC-infused gummy candy.

Officials say the driver and a 36-year-old passenger — a California woman — were arrested.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — More than two dozen Omaha police officers have been honored for outstanding work.

The Omaha Police Foundation named Officer Robbie Goering-Jensen the officer of the year for helping rescue three people from a house fire.

Goering-Jensen entered a burning house three times to make sure that everyone inside made it out safely. He also received the Medal of Valor for his actions that day.

The Omaha Police Foundation also recognized the efforts of the department’s gang unit for arrested hundreds of suspects and working to mentor at-risk youth.

A total of 27 officers and two police units were honored.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha judge’s order for collaboration between the publicly appointed and privately retained attorneys for a man convicted of quadruple-murder is facing difficulties as the attorneys continue to argue with each other.

Judge Gary Randall told the Nebraska Commission on Public Advocacy and legal group Team Motta on Thursday they were “not in third grade” and “have an ethical responsibility to discuss the matter.”

Randall ordered the groups to work together as counsel on Anthony Garcia’s impending sentencing.

Team Motta says it “has no intention” to withdraw as counsel, but the commission says it plans to file for the removal of the group in as early as a week.

Garcia, a former doctor, was found guilty in October of murdering four people as apparent revenge for his 2001 firing from a medical school.
