Nebraska City, Neb. —
U.S. Fish and Wildlife investigators are looking into the March 6 shooting of about 100 geese at an Otoe County farm pond.
The Otoe County Sheriff's Office reports that it appears a spotlight was used to shoot geese that had taken refuge on the pond near county roads 12 and K southwest of Unadilla.
Chief Deputy Mike Holland said federal investigators will review the evidence and may conduct some follow-up interviews to determine if they will seek a grand jury to pursue an indictment.
Holland said several people have been questioned regarding the incident by Thursday, but no one has been arrested.
He said federal prosecutors are interested in the case because all migratory birds are protected by federal law.
How awful!!
