Former Nebraska Running Back Thunder Collins charged with murder

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Omaha television station KETV is reporting former Nebraska running back Thunder Collins was arrested late Wednesday morning nearly 24 hours after a shooting left one person dead and another seriously wounded.

An arrest warrant issued Wednesday morning accuses Collins of first-degree murder, and attempted second-degree murder. Collins also faces felony weapons charges.

Earlier Wednesday, police arrested another man linked to the midtown shooting. Karnell Burton was arrested on suspicion of criminal homicide, attempted first-degree murder, and weapons charges.

Omaha police are not releasing the victims' names and refused to confirm Collins' arrest.

Thunder Collins was part of the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers football program during the 2000 and 2001 seasons.
