Victim in Sabetha Shooting Identified

(KNZA)--The victim in a Memorial Day weekend shooting at the Old Sabetha Lake has been identified.

 Sabetha Police Chief Robert Wahwasuck identified the victim Tuesday as 40-year-old Thad Lambrecht, of Bern.

Wahwasuck says Lambrecht remains in serious condition at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City.

59-year-old Anthony Leftwich, of Dawson, Nebraska, is accused of shooting Lambrecht at the Old Sabetha Lake early Sunday morning following an argument.  Wahwasuck says the two men were acquaintances.  A handgun was recovered at the scene.

Leftwich, who was physically detained by witnesses until police arrived, was taken into custody on a charge of aggravated battery.

He remains in the Nemaha County Jail on a $750,000 bond.
