The two Cambridge teens accused in a hazing incident were in
court Thursday to hear the charges being brought against them by
the Nebraska Attorney General’s office. Both students entered
pleas of denial, the juvenile court equivalent of not guilty, at their
arraignments in Adams County court; each faces one count of intentional child abuse. Prosecutors have said the incident happened
in June 2015 at a wrestling camp in Hastings. The judge explained
the child abuse charge would be the same as a felony in adult
court, but in the juvenile system is known as a “sub two violation”
after the part of the law it falls under. The prosecutor for the state
says he’ll be turning over police reports and witness statements to
the defense attorneys, including interviews with two victims. The
students were both allowed to stay with their parents who also
came to the arraignments. The next step in this case will be a pretrial hearing late next month.
HESSTON WORKPLACE SHOOTING
Law enforcement officers responded to the scene of a workplace
shooting at Excel Industries in Hesston Thursday afternoon with reports of multiple fatalities and people wounded. The incident began about 4:40 p.m. Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton confirmed
at a 9 p.m. news conference that four people were dead, including the shooter, and 14 others were wounded. The shooter was an
Excel employee. Officials say area hospitals received 12 victims.
Six victims were transported to Via Christi Hospital. Two victims
are in critical condition and four victims are stable. Four victims
were transported to Wesley Hospital. Officials say three are critical and one is in surgery. Newton Medical Center received four
patients. All are in stable condition. Sheriff T. Walton said the
shooting started in Newton at 12th and Meridian. Two people
were shot while driving their vehicles. One person was hurt. The
other person wasn’t. Walton says the shooter continued north on
Highway 81 where he shot another person in the leg. “There was a
report of a stolen vehicle. That vehicle was the person that got
shot. The shooter went on into Excel Industries. Once he got to Excel Industries, he shot a person in the parking lot, and he entered
into the building itself,” said Sheriff T. Walton. “Inside the building
he shot a total of 15 people. Four were killed including himself, the
shooter.”Walton said about 150 people were likely in the plant at
the time of the shooting, and that the law enforcement officer who
killed the suspect “saved multiple, multiple lives.” He said the gunman had an assault weapon and a pistol.
NEBRASKA’S FIRST FLU-RELATED DEATH
Nebraska health officials say the first flu-related death this season
has been reported in the state. Officials with Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services announced Thursday that a
young child in a region of northeastern Nebraska has died from
the flu. Test results showed the seasonal flu virus was a factor in
the child's death, but the child also tested positive for several other
respiratory viruses. The child was in a region that includes Burt,
Cuming, Madison and Stanton counties. The child also spent time in
an area that includes Dodge, Saunders and Washington counties.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 13 children have died nationally from the flu this season. Health officials
say the flu continues to circulate at moderate levels in Nebraska.
