(AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has ordered a new trial for a man convicted of fatally stabbing another at a 2010 party in Norfolk.

The state’s high court on Friday overturned the second-degree murder conviction of 23-year-old De’Aris Trice, who was sentenced to 40 years-to-life in prison for killing 27-year-old Timothy Warren.

The high court cited faulty instructions to Trice’s jury. The jury was instructed to convict Trice of second-degree murder if it found beyond a reasonable doubt that he had killed intentionally, but without premeditation. Only if prosecutors failed to prove one of those elements could it consider whether Trice had committed manslaughter, a lesser offense.

The jury should have been allowed to consider whether the killing was intentional but provoked by a sudden quarrel, therefore constituting manslaughter.

(AP) — Police are still investigating but they say it appears a fireworks accident in California happened when a platform holding the fireworks tipped over, sending them shooting into the crowd, injuring 28 people.

As many as 10,000 people were attending the annual 4th of July show in Simi Valley, northwest of Los Angeles. Officials say that instead of launching into the sky, a bright plume of red and white bursts spread across the ground.

Four people are hospitalized in serious condition, but their injuries are not life-threatening. Another 16 were taken to area hospitals with minor to moderate injuries. Others hurt were treated at the park.

Authorities estimate people were about 900 feet away from where the fireworks were being launched.

Officials say most people responded admirably and left in an orderly fashion.

(AP) — Omaha police have arrested a man accused of striking a Council Bluffs police officer with a stolen vehicle.

Authorities say 24-year-old Andrew M. Brown was wanted in Iowa on charges of attempted murder, assault on a police officer and theft. Brown was captured on Thursday after leading Omaha police on a chase.

Authorities say Brown deliberately pointed a stolen vehicle at Council Bluffs officers who were trying to stop him during another chase on June 25. Brown is accused of striking one of the officers, who was thrown into air and against a utility pole before landing in a ditch. The officer was taken to a hospital with minor injuries and released.

A female passenger who was in the vehicle with Brown on Thursday was also taken into custody.

(AP) — A youth shelter that closed last year on the Omaha Indian Reservation is expected to reopen in Lincoln.

The shelter is scheduled to have 10 beds available for girls who are 12 to 18 years old, starting in August. An expansion is planned later.

In 1992, the Omaha Tribe became one of 33 tribes across the country to receive federal funding to build and run an emergency youth shelter. The Mark of Honor Youth Lodge operated in Macy until last year, when the tribe evicted the shelter from its building.

Mark of Honor Youth Lodge director Jay Bazemore says the shelter is geared toward Native Americans but also serves non-native children.

The shelter will be a licensed state child care agency.

(AP) — Authorities say five people were sent to the hospital after two vehicles rolled over on Interstate 80 in eastern Nebraska.

Emergency crews responded to the crash near Ashland around 1:30 p.m. Thursday.

The Nebraska State Patrol says a 1996 Toyota SUV was driving east on the interstate when it blew a tire. The SUV crossed the median, into incoming traffic. A Jeep tried to swerve out of the way, causing both the Jeep and Toyota to roll into the ditch.

Emergency crews took four adults and one child to a Lincoln hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Their conditions were not immediately known.

(AP) — Authorities say an 8-year-old boy has died after he was run over by a float at the end of a Fourth of July parade in central Oklahoma.

Edmond Police Officer James Hamm says the boy was riding on a martial arts group’s float at the city’s LibertyFest parade on Thursday morning. Hamm says the boy fell or got down from the float at the end of the parade and was struck by the same vehicle.

Police spokeswoman Jenny Monroe says the boy’s father was driving the float.

Hamm says the incident was an unfortunate, freak accident.

Edmond is just north of Oklahoma City.

Thousands of spectators typically line the parade route as bands, floats, antique cars and marching groups pass by.

(AP) — Two young girls, their mother and a man are recovering from injuries they received in a fireworks accident west of Fremont.

The Dodge County sheriff said that the girls, ages 2 and 9, and mother suffered injuries to their faces when an improvised firework exploded Wednesday night.

Sheriff Steve Hespen says people were taking apart mortar shells and packing the powder into a cannon. A stick or wooden rod used to pack the powder ended up serving as a projectile when something ignited the powder, sending wooden shrapnel out from the firework.

An adult male also was hurt. The four were taken to a hospital, but details on their conditions were not immediately available.

(AP) — Paul Adams, a Nebraska veteran who served as a Tuskegee Airman during World War II, has died. He was 92.

Adams’ son, Michael Adams, tells the Lincoln Journal Star (https://bit.ly/17W1y4O) that his father died Sunday.

A native of Greenville, S.C., Paul Adams joined the Army after graduating from South Carolina State University and flew with the 332nd Fighter Group. The Tuskegee Airmen broke racial barriers, becoming the first black aviators in the U.S. military.

The military transferred Adams to Lincoln in 1962. He retired a year later and began teaching industrial arts at Lincoln High School in 1964. His son says Adams also taught what likely was the first Black History class in the district. Adams retired from teaching in 1982.

Funeral services will be held Saturday.

(AP) — The state had lifted a warning advising people not to swim or drink water Lone Star Lake in Fillmore County.

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services says there are currently no health alerts for any lakes in Nebraska.

Last month, the department issued the warning for Lone Star Lake because it had a high level of microcystin, a toxin released by strains of blue-green algae.

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

Lone Star is the only lake this year to go under alert. Officials began conducting weekly tests at 50 public lakes across the state in early May, and the tests will continue throughout the summer.

(AP) — Former state Sen. Arlene Nelson of Grand Island has been named to the Nebraska Democratic Party’s Hall of Fame.

Nelson received the honor during the Morrison Exon Dinner in LaVista last weekend.

Nelson represented the 35th District from 1985 to 1993, serving on the Judiciary, Education and Agriculture committees.

While in office, she helped craft legislation that created College Park, a consortium of postsecondary educational institutions based in Grand Island. She also chaired the state retirement system committee.

Nelson says she was surprised to learn of the honor, which she received before about 500 people attending the dinner.
