Fremont Man's Self-Inflicted Gunshot Death Under Nebraska State Patrol Investigation

A Fremont man died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound during an incident with Dodge County Sheriff's deputies, as the Nebraska State Patrol investigates the in-custody death at the request of the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies were attempting to speak to the resident at a home outside of Fremont, but he initially refused to speak to them. Before deputies could contact the person, they heard a single gunshot from a room upstairs, where they found the man with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. No deputies fired their weapons during the incident, and no other injuries occurred.
