Minnesota Man Shot To Death In Eastern Nebraska

BELGRADE, Neb. (AP) -- A Minnesota man has been fatally shot in what officials say appears to be a case of self-defense in rural Nance County in central Nebraska.

Television station KOLN/KGIN says Joseph Cameron, of Stacy, Minn., died early Monday morning near Belgrade.

The sheriff's office says Robert Dodds shot Cameron after Cameron kicked in the door of Dodd's house and threatened him with a knife. The incident happened after Cameron left a bar in Belgrade with Dodds and a woman to check on cattle and then went to Dodd's home. Deputies say an altercation took place between the men, and Dodd locked Cameron and the woman out of his house.

Officials say the investigation is ongoing, but it appears to be a case of self-defense and no arrests were made.
