KEARNEY — On Sunday, July 27, 2025, at approximately 3:22 a.m., Kearney Police Officers and CHI Good Samaritan paramedics responded to the area of 1800 Avenue A following a medical call involving a male with a gunshot wound to his leg.
Upon arrival, officers discovered that a confrontation had taken place during a party at 1815 Avenue A. During the confrontation, several shots were fired by multiple individuals, resulting in a 30-year-old male from Kearney being shot in both legs.
This male was transported to CHI Good Samaritan Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and has since been released.
As KPD investigators continue to investigate this shooting, it appears this was not a random act of violence but rather a result of the confrontation. This incident is still under investigation.
Additional information will be made available as appropriate. We are working closely with the Buffalo County Attorney’s Office as KPD investigators continue to gather information related to this incident.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Kearney Police Department at (308) 237-2104 or Buffalo County Crimestoppers at (308) 237-3424.
