Nebraska State Patrol troopers shot and killed a man who shot dead a resident in Polk County on Friday.

A man was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds at his home in rural Polk County, Nebraska on Friday morning after someone reported a shooting to 911.

Law enforcement identified 45-year-old Nathan Dohmen of Clarks as the suspect. The victim was 47-year-old John Cyza of Duncan. The 911 caller told police that Dohmen may be targeting a second person, but that person was found safe. Dohmen left the scene before police arrived.

When a Butler County sheriff found Dohmen's vehicle on a rural road, Dohmen fired at the sheriff with a rifle. The sheriff was not hit. Dohmen drove away and later stopped at a store in Bellwood, where he stole a case of beer. After troopers found the vehicle and began a brief pursuit, Dohmen pulled into a farmhouse driveway northeast of David City.

Dohmen then fired at the troopers, who returned fire. He was hit and died at the scene. No troopers were injured, and the resident of the farmhouse was also unharmed.
