Lexington shooting suspect surrenders after standoff

LEXINGTON, Neb. (AP) _ Lexington police say they've arrested a 38-year-old man suspected in an early morning shooting. Acting chief Tracy Wolf says officers were called to a possible shooting at the home around 4 a.m. Monday. Officers reached a woman and then the shooting victim, who were both moved to safety. Two other men in the house also got out without injury. The wounded man, 56-year-old Roy Gray, was taken to Tri-County Hospital with a wound to his lower belly and later transferred to Kearney's Good Samaritan Hospital. His condition was not being released. Wolf says Daryl Eskridge of Lexington surrendered at 8 a.m. after a tense, four-hour standoff with police, sheriff's deputies and a Nebraska State Patrol SWAT team. The Lexington Volunteer Fire Department also assisted at the scene. Wolf says Eskridge was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and a weapons count. Classes at nearby Pershing Elementary were canceled for the day.
