OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two people are facing charges after a 13-year-old Omaha girl was injured by a shooting outside the home where she was staying.

Omaha police said the shooting happened around 3:20 a.m. Thursday.

Terije Carter was spending the night at a friend’s house near 40th and Browne streets in northeast Omaha. Witnesses say she was inside when the shooting happened.

The girl’s injuries are not considered life threatening.

Police arrested a 21-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy in the area. They were linked to the shooting after police questioned them.

The two men were arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault and weapons charges.

LINCOLN – A mountain lion was found unintentionally killed in a snare in Sioux County on June 22, according to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.

The trap was set by U.S. Department of Agriculture APHIS Wildlife Services in an attempt to remove coyotes from a cattle pasture.

The gender of the animal could not be determined with certainty due to decomposition in the warm weather. Tooth measurements and pelt coloration are consistent with a sub-adult or young adult female.  Final determination of the gender will be made through genetic analysis.

Anyone with trail camera photographs or other evidence of mountain lions should contact the agency.

COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — A quarantine has been lifted at a Columbus nursing home where a respiratory illness contributed to the deaths of five patients.

The quarantine was imposed June 19 at Golden Living Center-Columbus. Health officials say that as of Wednesday, 34 patients and 15 staff members had caught the illness. The home has about 130 patients and 140 employees.

The officials say mycoplasma pneumonia, commonly called “walking pneumonia,” was the likely culprit. The disease is not unusual in closed settings, including long-term care facilities, military barracks or schools. Health experts say it is difficult to detect and easily transmittable.

Spokeswoman Kelli Luneborg of the home’s corporate parent, Golden LivingCenters, of Plano, Texas, says the home staff is working closely with government health officials.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The very thing that saved lives when tornadoes destroyed much of a northeast Nebraska town last month — basements — generally won’t be an option for residents who rebuild.

That’s because most of the town of Pilger has been in a flood plain since 2004, so anyone rebuilding will have to make sure the lowest level of their home is at least one foot above the most likely flood level.

Anyone who doesn’t comply with flood rules might have trouble getting flood insurance, which banks require if there is a mortgage, or face astronomical flood insurance premiums.

Village Clerk Kim Neiman says the flood rules aren’t going over well with many Pilger residents but some have already committed to rebuild.

TECUMSEH, Neb. (AP) — Officials in Tecumseh hope to move out of the longtime fire station and into a new building more suitable for the department’s needs.

Kenny Lueders, the rural fire board’s secretary and treasurer, said early plans call for a $1.25 million building financed with bonds.

Officials says the current building on the town square is more than 80 years old and has only one door, forcing firefighters to move equipment to get vehicles out. Ambulances are kept at the hospital.

Mayor Bill Montz says the building’s floor is broken up because it wasn’t designed to withstand the weight of modern vehicles.

A new building would share a site with the Johnson County Emergency Management Department.

Lueders hopes for more detailed plans later this summer.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska has settled a civil rights lawsuit filed by five Nebraska guards who alleged their prison was a racially hostile workplace.

The five and their law firm will receive just over $777,000. The state did not admit any wrongdoing as part of the settlement.

The five declined to comment. The Nebraska attorney general’s office, which represented the state and several officials named, also would not comment.

The guards filed the lawsuit in 2010, saying they were subject to racially charged comments and other bias at the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2012 and then reinstated in part by a federal appeals court in February.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services says it has accounted for all but three of the 45 prisoners who were released before they should have been and still owe time.

State officials issued arrest warrants for 20 of those inmates. The governor’s office said Wednesday that 12 of them are back in custody, three were previously deported, one is at the Norfolk Regional Center for sex offenders, and one is dead. The remaining three have not been found.

Arrest warrants were not issued for the other 25 inmates. The department says three have been placed on the re-entry furlough program, 10 are pending for the program, and eight have had their parole extended. Two are dead, one was deported, and one is incarcerated in Oklahoma.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — One of dozens of Nebraska inmates who were mistakenly released early after the state miscalculated their sentences has lost his court bid to remain free.

Fifty-seven-year-old Bruce Caton had asked a judge to block prosecutors from sending him back to prison, arguing that he already served the minimum of his 10- to 20-year sentence.

But online court records say Lancaster County District Judge Robert Otte denied Caton’s bid on Friday, saying a trial court couldn’t modify a valid sentence once it’s pronounced. Plus, Otte said, Caton had filed a habeas corpus challenge, alleging he was being illegally detained. At the time, he wasn’t in custody. He is now.

Caton was sentenced in 2004 as a habitual criminal. His record includes burglary, kidnapping, rape and robbery.

GLENWOOD, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a camper has found a man’s body in the Missouri River in southwest Iowa.

Chief Deputy Bruce Paulsen, of the Mills County Sheriff’s Office, said a camper found the body about 4:45 p.m. Tuesday in the river at Lincoln’s Landing campground. That’s near the U.S. Highway 34 bridge that connects Mills County to Plattsmouth, Nebraska.

Paulsen says the body had some clothing and indentifying markings, such as tattoos, but he wouldn’t be specific.

He says the sheriff’s office hasn’t received recent reports of a missing man upriver.

The body was taken to the Douglas County Coroner’s Office in Omaha for an autopsy.

COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — A September trial has been scheduled for a Columbus man and his girlfriend accused of abusing his 10-month-old son.

22-year-old Juan Trejo and his fiancee, 22-year-old Julie Staroscik, have pleaded not guilty to child abuse charges. Their trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 29 in Columbus.

Authorities say Trejo is accused of fracturing the boy’s skull by throwing him to a floor when the baby wouldn’t stop crying. Trejo faces three counts of child abuse. Staroscik, who is not the boy’s biological mother, faces one count of abuse.

A doctor at Children’s Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha says the boy had about 20 fractures to his skull, ribs, arms and legs in various stages of healing.
