LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Three teenagers were arrested early Sunday morning after an attempted SUV theft led to gunfire outside a Lincoln home, police said.
At around 1:15 a.m., a 40-year-old woman reported that three males were trying to break into her SUV parked near 29th and E streets. When she confronted them, one of the suspects allegedly fired a gun at her before all three ran away, according to the Lincoln Police Department (LPD).
