Lincoln man arrested on suspicion of shooting neighbor with BB gun, police say

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A man was arrested after he shot his neighbor in the head with a BB gun on Saturday, Lincoln Police say.

Around 11:14 p.m., a caller told police that their home had been shot at with a BB gun.

Officers had been at the same home earlier that day after an argument between neighbors.

A 48-year-old man told police that he had been hit in the head with a BB.

The man had a laceration behind his ear and appeared to have a BB stuck under the skin, police say.

Home security footage showed the man’s neighbor, 54-year-old Shaun Henry, exiting his home with a BB gun.

After several shots are heard in the video, Henry is seen returning to his home, police say.

Henry was then arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault.  He was also cited on suspicion of discharging a weapon when unsafe to do so and injuring or destroying the property of another.
