OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A detective says an argument on Facebook between two men may have led to a fatal shooting in northwest Omaha.

Detective Michael Smith testified during a preliminary hearing Tuesday that an argument between 31-year-old Kenneth Armour and 30-year-old Michael Stubbs began with a comment to a Facebook post and escalated via phone.

Armour is accused of fatally shooting Stubbs on Nov. 5. Smith testified that Stubbs identified Armour as the shooter before he died.

Armour faces several felony charges in the case, including first-degree murder. A message left for his attorney was not immediately returned Tuesday.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former Lincoln restaurant manager has been convicted of recording images of women changing clothes in an employee locker room.

29-year-old Dustin Lindgren took a plea deal with prosecutors on Monday. He entered no contest pleas to two counts of unlawful intrusion and a judge found him guilty. A third count was dropped in the deal.

Authorities say Lindgren was manager of the Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery when he used a cellphone hidden in a jacket pocket to record at least 12 women in January and February. One of the women noticed the phone and notified police.

The owner of the restaurant fired Lindgren in February. He is scheduled to be sentenced next year.

DECATUR, Neb. (AP) — Decatur residents are hoping a former toll booth will help attract visitors to the eastern Nebraska community.

The Burt County Bridge Commission used to collect $1 tolls from motorists traveling on Highway 51 to and from Decatur. The money was used to help pay off the bridge and maintain it.

But the commission sold the bridge last fall to Iowa and Nebraska. The crossing is supported with tax dollars, eliminating the need for a toll.

The toll booth was set for demolition.

This summer, residents participating in a Center for Rural Affairs program were searching for a landmark that would attract visitors to Decatur. They settled upon the toll booth.

A former toll-taker says the state will help pay to move the toll booth somewhere else in Decatur.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two suburban Omaha school boards have decided not to oppose or support a plan that would eliminate a common property tax levy for a school system aimed at closing the achievement gap between poor and middle-class students and increasing classroom diversity.

Ralston Public Schools Superintendent Mark Adler said some board members liked parts of the plan, but they didn’t want to be locked into supporting it.

The Papillion-La Vista board declined to vote either way on the specific plan but did vote on Monday to state that the board “does not support the Learning Community.”

A report from the Learning Community superintendents last month said the common property tax levy is a barrier to improving the collaboration between the Learning Community and its 11 districts.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Creighton University President Timothy Lannon has announced that he’ll be leaving his post sooner than expected.

Lannon cited his health in an email to Creighton staffers and students on Tuesday and said he’d be resigning effective Jan. 20, six months earlier than planned. He’d begun planning his retirement after falling ill a year ago during Thanksgiving Mass.

Lannon returned to Creighton in 2011 as Creighton’s 24th president. Chris Bradberry, who is dean of the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions, will become interim president on Dec. 21.

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar says at least a dozen businesses are burning after protests in Ferguson turned violent.

Belmar said early Tuesday morning that two police cruisers also were burned and that he “personally heard about 150 shots fired” over the course of the night.

Belmar says the protests that followed the announcement that a Ferguson police officer wouldn’t be indicted in Michael Brown’s shooting death were “probably much worse than the worst night we ever had in August” after Brown was killed.

He says police did not fire a shot during Monday night’s protests. But he says the fabric of the community has been torn apart.

YORK, Neb. (AP) — A York man has been given five- to 10 years in prison for the crash death of a teacher from Aurora.

Judge James Stecker sentenced 38-year-old Otis Newcomb on Monday in York County District Court on a charge of felony manslaughter.

Newcomb pleaded no contest in July as part of a plea deal that lowered a vehicular homicide charge and dismissed another charge.

Authorities say Newcomb was driving a van on Highway 34 near York in November 2013 when his vehicle collided with a pickup. A passenger in the pickup, 31-year-old Lauren Akerson, was killed. Others in the pickup were injured.

Prosecutors said Newcomb was drinking alcohol prior to the crash.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say livestock have been quarantined on two north-central Nebraska farms following diagnoses of a disease that can hamper an animal’s ability to eat and drink.

The Nebraska Agriculture Department said in a news release Monday that a U.S. Department of Agriculture laboratory confirmed the diagnoses of vesicular stomatitis. The samples were taken from infected cattle on two farms in Wheeler County. The USDA says other outbreaks this year have been confirmed in Colorado and Texas.

The virus that causes vesicular stomatitis is spread by insects and from animal to animal through open sores and saliva. The virus causes oral blisters and sores that can be painful.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — Twenty-one states are asking a federal appeals court to overturn provisions of Maryland’s gun-control law that ban 45 assault weapons and limit gun magazines to 10 rounds.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey led the coalition in filing a friend-of-the-court brief in the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, last week.

The brief says the law violates the Second Amendment right to keep firearms in homes for self-protection.

The other states are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Wyoming.

A U.S. District Court judge in Baltimore upheld the provisions in August.

The state of Maryland has until Dec. 31 to respond to the filing.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Allegations by three girls at an Oklahoma high school who say they were raped by the same male student have led to a police investigation and protests by students who say school officials have mishandled the case and subsequent bullying.

Hundreds of students, along with parents and supporters, filled the street Monday in front of Norman High School to protest what they say was bullying.

Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn confirmed Norman police are investigating alleged assaults of three girls. He said two reportedly happened off campus and the third happened at the school.

Norman Public Schools spokeswoman Shelly Hickman says administrators were made aware in September of a video of an alleged sexual assault and suspended the suspect. She denied the district allowed any students to be bullied.
