WAYNE, Neb. (AP) — A rollover crash has killed a 24-year-old Laurel man in northeast Nebraska.

The Nebraska State Patrol says the crash occurred early Saturday on Nebraska Highway 15, about 2½ miles north of Wayne.

The patrol says Michael Schilousky was a passenger in a car driven by 41-year-old Calvin Gunter, of Tilden. The patrol says Schilousky was ejected after Gunter lost control of the car and it rolled.

The patrol says Schilousky died at the scene. Gunter and another passenger, 26-year-old Lyle Hackney, also of Laurel, were taken to Providence Medical Center in Wayne. Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — An uncle of a man who killed his father in front of a computer science class at a Wyoming community college says the assailant seemed normal and outgoing the last time he saw him three years ago but then fell out of contact.

Jon Sims says he made numerous unsuccessful attempts to re-establish contact with his nephew, 25-year-old Christopher Krumm.

Police say Krumm shot 56-year-old James Krumm with an arrow and stabbed him in his Casper College classroom Friday. Around six students escaped unhurt, but earlier Krumm fatally stabbed his father’s girlfriend, 42-year-old Heidi Arnold, at their home.

Christopher Krumm stabbed himself to death in the classroom.

Sims says he last saw his nephew after Krumm got a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Colorado School of Mines in 2009.

Authorities say the man who killed himself in a Casper College classroom Friday morning after killing two other people was the son of his second victim.

Casper Police Chief Chris Walsh says 25-year-old Christopher Krumm, of Vernon, Conn., first stabbed 42-year-old Heidi Arnold about two miles southwest of Casper College, then went to the college and killed his father, 56-year-old computer science instructor James Krumm.

Chief  Walsh says the younger Krumm smuggled a bow-and-arrow into his father’s classroom, then shot his father in the head with it in front of a group of students before stabbing himself with a large knife.

On Saturday, police searched the Connecticut home of Christopher Krumm. Vernon, Conn, Police Sgt. Timothy O’Connor says whatever was recovered in the search of the younger Krumm’s home was turned over to Wyoming investigators.

Nebraska Democratic Senator Ben Nelson thinks U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice should have been more careful in the comments she made in the wake of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, but feels Republican criticisms of her are overblown.

Rice, a possible successor to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said in one of the first official statements about the attack that it was a spontaneous reaction to an inflammatory video.

Nelson told reporters on a conference call Wednesday that Rice’s mistake wasn’t in saying that, it was in not emphasizing that her words were based on the best information at the time.

Nelson said she should have “couched” her comments by pointing out at the beginning that “first reports are almost always wrong, and sometimes they’re 100% wrong…and we don’t have enough information to be definitive.

Republicans, especially Arizona Senator and 2008 presidential nominee John McCain, have criticized Rice for her comments…suggesting the Obama administration tried to cover up the situation. Nelson rejected the idea completely.

“There was a lack of care and caution in the remarks, to be quite candid, (but) I don’t see a cover-up,” Nelson said, then took his own swipe at the GOP for going after Rice.  “Look, we have a bunch of people who didn’t get over the last election in 2008. Why do we expect that they’re going to get over the election in 2012?” Nelson said.

As for whether Rice would be a good Secretary of State, Nelson said he’s not making any comments on that at this time since she hasn’t been nominated for the post.

Omaha-based ConAgra Foods is buying St. Louis-based Ralcorp Holdings Inc…originally part of Ralston-Purina…for $5-billion dollars. The combined company will have 36,000 workers and total sales of about $18 billion a year.

The agreement ends 20 months of ConAgra trying to get RalCorp…following the rejection of offers of $82, $86, and $94 a share. This deal is for $90 per share, a 28% premium on RalCorp’s Monday closing price of $70.23. The companies put the transaction’s value at about $6.8 billion when debt is included.

The deal was unanimously approved by the boards of both companies, but still needs Ralcorp shareholder approval. It’s expected to close by March 31.

Ralcorp Food Group makes pasta, cereal, snacks, sauces, peanut butter, jelly, mayonnaise, frozen waffles, pancakes and dough. While the deal brings ConAgra some brand names, ConAgra CEO Gary Rodkin says the key to the deal is the private label items it makes for retailers such as Trade Joe’s and Costco.

ConAgra Foods will now be North America’s biggest manufacturer of store-brand packaged foods such as cereals, crackers and condiments.

Rodkin says with the acquisition, ConAgra expects to get 25% of its future sales from private label, 43% from branded food and 32% from commercial and food service.

ConAgra has been on a buying spree the past 2 years, spending just over a billion dollars to add National Pretzel, Bertolli frozen meals and Del Monte Canada to its list of brands that includes Hunt’s, Banquet, Chef Boyardee and Marie Callender’s

Four people…3 of them children…were killed and 17 others displaced by a fire shortly before 11:00 last night in Rapid City. The blaze was what authorities described as a multi-family structure, a home converted into apartments.

Lt. Brent Long of the Rapid City Fire Department says 51-year old Marcia Rock was pronounced dead at the scene with her grandchildren: 9-year-old Thomas Rosado, 5-year-old Dustin Rosado and 3-year-old Marquez Hawkwing…pronounced dead at the hospital.

Lt Long says the investigation is continuing, with early indications that human actions may have contributed to the cause of the fire. He emphasizes that the process of confirming a cause will be slow-moving, methodical, and thorough.

Larry Wright, who lives across the street, told the Rapid City Journal that he had worried that a tragedy was bound to happen because there were so many people living there, and because of what he described as the poor condition of the property.

Wright, whose brother is a Rapid City alderman,  said he’d complained about to the city more than once about the home and its condition.
