A Louisville, Nebraska man who traded gunfire with Cass County Sheriff’s deputies late last month and was shot four times was charged Tuesday with 29 felonies, including attempted first-degree assault on officers and child abuse.
37 year old Paul Warner remained hospitalized on Wednesday. On Jan. 22 at 10:25 p.m., deputies responded to a home in the 9300 block of Raven Drive after someone at the home called to report Warner had attempted suicide, then took off in his truck.
Deputies found Warner’s truck in a ditch on their way to the scene. While speaking to a resident at the home, Warner came into the house through the back door, walked out the front door with a pistol and began shooting at deputies, authorities reported.
The sheriff says deputies returned fire and struck Warner several times. Warner was taken to Bergan Mercy Medical Center in Omaha.
No deputies were hurt in the incident. The deputies involved were placed on administrative leave, in accordance with the sheriff department's policy.
Warner faces four counts of attempted first-degree assault on an officer, 10 counts of using a firearm to commit a felony, attempted first-degree assault, eight counts of terroristic threats, three counts of using a deadly weapon to commit a felony, strangulation and child abuse.
