Nebraska Republican Party condemns vandalism at Lincoln headquarters


LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – The Nebraska Republican Party (NEGOP) released a statement Thursday condemning vandalism that reportedly happened outside its headquarters in Lincoln.

Surveillance video shared by the NEGOP appears to show a person placing a piece of a paper on the building, spitting on it and then walking off.

“This behavior is unacceptable and has no place in Nebraska politics,” said Mary Jane Truemper, Chair of the Nebraska Republican Party. “Peaceful disagreement and debate are fundamental to our republic. Intimidation, harassment, and destruction of property are not.”

The Lincoln Police Department said no police reports have been filed in connection with the vandalism.

Nebraska cops respond to gunfire at store and find a dog accidentally shot someone


Police in Nebraska were called to a convenience store after reports of gunfire — only to find a dog accidentally shot a person with a shotgun.

Officers with the Scottsbluff Police Department were called to Short Stop, a gas station and convenience store, after receiving a report that someone had been shot with a BB gun just after noon on Saturday, KNOP News 2 reported.

However, while on their way to the scene, police were informed that the incident actually involved a shotgun.

At the store, police found a truck with damage consistent with a shotgun blast to the passenger side door.

The driver of the truck had pulled into the parking lot to shop, but a dog in the back seat of their vehicle moved from one side of the car to the other — and managed to cause the loaded shotgun to discharge.

The shotgun fired off into the passenger side panel of the car. A pellet also struck a woman who was stopped at a nearby traffic light and had her right arm dangling out of the car’s open window.

The pellet from the shotgun struck her in the upper arm, police said.

The woman’s injury was not believed to be life-threatening. She was taken to a nearby hospital by a family member.

It is against the law in Nebraska to travel with a loaded shotgun in a vehicle, according to the report.

The incident is being investigated by the Scottsbluff Police Department.
