Anderson says Bussinger lived in Bassett.

An Omaha Police Department news release says two police officers working off-duty at the Guaca Maya restaurant heard gunshots just before 11:30 p.m. Sunday. They found the two victims just north of the restaurant.

Both were taken to Nebraska Medical Center, where one was pronounced dead. He’s been identified as 23-year-old Franco Gonzalez-Mendez. The wounded man was identified as 22-year-old Edgar Gonzalez-Mendez. Police spokesman Michael Pecha (PEH’-kuh) couldn’t confirm whether the two are related.

No arrests have been reported.

Woodbury County District Court records say the tests were ordered last week for 30-year-old Daniel Levering. He’s pleaded not guilty to the July 23 slaying of 36-year-old Vincent Walker, who lived in Winnebago, Nebraska.

Police say three people including Levering assaulted Walker while he was washing his car in Sioux City. Authorities have not reported the arrests of the two other people. Levering had been scheduled to begin trial Tuesday.

The judge said in his order that if the evaluation finds that Levering is not mentally competent for trial, the state must provide treatment if it’s believed Levering’s competency can be restored.

Thayer County Sheriff David Lee says 37-year-old Clayton Hergott was ejected and then trapped beneath the UTV after it went out of control Saturday about 1½ miles (3 kilometers) east of Hebron. Hergott was pronounced dead at the scene.

The sheriff says one of the UTV’s tires may have blown and caused the wreck.

Authorities say Stephen Cash died at a Hastings hospital July 10. He’d been taken there after being stricken following a fight with another man over ownership of a bicycle. Toxicology test results are still pending.

Police arrested the other man on suspicion of assault by mutual consent. Online court records don’t yet show that he’s been formally charged.

The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office says the crash happened Friday night when two pickup trucks collided at the intersection.

Investigators say the crash killed a passenger in a 1993 Chevrolet pickup, identified as 54-year-old Rhondi Lovelace of rural Lincoln. The driver of that truck was treated for minor injuries.

Investigators say the 25-year-old driver of the other truck, a 2015 Chevy Silverado, failed to stop at the intersection, causing the crash. Both that driver and his passenger declined medical treatment at the scene.

Deputies say the occupants of the newer truck were wearing seat belts, while the occupants of the older vehicle were not.

The Columbus City Council and the Platte County Board of Supervisors announced the new Joint Communications Center earlier this month, the Columbus Telegram reported.

“It’s to hopefully give better service to the entire area — not just in the city, but for the whole county,” Columbus City Council President Charlie Bahr said.

The city agreed to fund the initial costs of operation and provide the building. The county will supply equipment and reimburse the city for continuing operating costs.

Emergency calls incoming to the Columbus Police Department from outside city limits often experience a delay because callers need to be transferred to the county sheriff’s office, Bahr said. The joint center omits the middle person and will transfer emergency calls directly to the specific department in charge.

Platte County Sheriff Ed Wemhoff said its existing dispatchers will be transferred to the central center. “Nobody will be losing their jobs,” he said.

The Columbus Police Department will be training its dispatchers to respond to calls for the county sheriff’s office and to operate the center’s new equipment, said Police Capt. Todd Thalken.

“Consolidation is always a good word,” Thalken said. “It will be better sharing as far as making sure things get dispatched correctly and making sure the calls get to the right place.”

County Supervisor James Scow said the county will consider implementing a tax to cover the costs of ongoing expenses at the joint center. He said the issue will be discussed during an upcoming county budget meeting.

Officials said in a news release Friday that the alerts were issued following tests of the lake’s water.

Skin exposed to the toxin from the algae can develop rashes and blisters. Someone who drinks water containing the toxin is at risk for headaches, nausea and muscular pain.

When a health alert is issued, signs are posted to advise the public to use caution, and designated swimming beaches are closed. Recreational boating and fishing are permitted, but the public is warned to use caution and avoid exposure to the water.

Toxic algae alerts also continue at Kirkman’s Cove in Richardson County and Maple Creek Recreation Area Lake in Colfax County.

TransCanada Corp. said in the letter to Cheyenne River Sioux Chairman Harold Frazier, of South Dakota, that the work would start in July and go through the fall. The chairman on Thursday tweeted copies of TransCanada’s message and his response on the tribe’s letterhead: “We will be waiting.”

Frazier wasn’t immediately available on Friday to comment to The Associated Press. Keystone XL faces intense resistance from environmental groups, Native American tribes and some landowners along the route.

The project would cost an estimated $8 billion. The 1,179-mile pipeline would transport up to 830,000 barrels a day of Canadian crude through Montana and South Dakota to Nebraska, where it would connect with lines to carry oil to Gulf Coast refineries.

TransCanada spokesman Terry Cunha said in an email that the preparatory work will ramp up over the year to position TransCanada for construction in 2019. He said it would include moving pipe and equipment to start clearing activities to prepare for getting final permits and approvals for construction.

But the project faces legal hurdles. Nebraska landowners have filed a lawsuit challenging the Nebraska Public Service Commission’s decision to approve a route through the state.

A separate federal lawsuit brought by Montana landowners and environmental groups seeks to overturn President Donald Trump’s decision to grant a presidential permit for the project, which was necessary because it would cross the U.S.-Canadian border.

South Dakota’s Supreme Court in June dismissed an appeal from pipeline opponents — including the Cheyenne River Sioux — of a judge’s decision last year upholding regulators’ approval for the pipeline to cross the state.

SOUTH SIOUX CITY, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man injured in an explosion at a northeast Nebraska grain elevator has died.

The Meyer Brothers Funeral Homes said Thursday that 55-year-old Maurice “Maury” Kellogg died Monday. He’d been injured May 29 when the blast blew a gaping hole in the Andersen Farms elevator in South Sioux City.

Residents of 26 houses nearby were evacuated. Fears of the elevator collapsing kept many away until June 11, when the elevator top was dismantled.

The cause of the explosion is being investigated.
