SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. — The Nebraska State Patrol successfully apprehended a suspect, identified as 54-year-old Henry Schuff, following a drive-by shooting and subsequent standoff in Oshkosh.

The incident unfolded at approximately 11 p.m. MT on Wednesday when the Garden County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a drive-by shooting in the 400 block of East Avenue H in Oshkosh. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in connection with the shooting. Law enforcement swiftly located the vehicle involved in the incident at a residence in the 400 block of West 5th Street.
