(KNZA)--A Dawson, Nebraska man was arrested early Sunday morning following a shooting at the Old Sabetha Lake.
Sabetha Police Chief Robert Wahwasuck says the police department responded to a report that an individual had been shot at the lake shortly before 12:50.
Wahwasuck says the suspect, 59-year-old Anthony Leftwich, was physically detained by witnesses until officers arrived.
Leftwich was taken into custody and booked into the Nemaha County Jail on a charge of aggravated battery.
Wahwasuck says Leftwich was said to have been armed with a handgun at the time of the shooting, which was recovered at the scene.
He says the victim, whose name hasn’t been made public yet, was taken a local hospital with serious injuries and then transported to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City.
Wahwasuck says Leftwich and the victim, who were acquaintances, were involved in an argument which led to the shooting.
The investigation continues.
