New charges and dropped old ones filed against a southeast Nebraska shooter

Prosecutors have listed new charges and dropped old ones
filed against a southeast Nebraska man accused of shooting two brothers _ one
fatally.

Thayer County District Court records say 21-year-old Michael Lewis already had
pleaded not guilty to the charges dismissed Tuesday: assault and use of a
weapon. Authorities say the shooting occurred Oct. 27 after 28-year-old
Remington Elting, of Davenport, and his 33-year-old brother, Reuben Elting, also
of Davenport, broke into Lewis' home in Hebron. Remington Elting died and Reuben
Elting was hospitalized.

Prosecutors have determined the shooting was justified, but they filed new
charges last week.

Court documents say Lewis was involved in a fight a day earlier. He has since
been accused of using a handgun to fire several shots into the air and pointing
the gun toward at least two other men at a residence in Davenport.
