Kimball Man Allegedly Shot By Officers By Klark Byrd kbyrd@suntelegraph.com KIMBALL - In the early morning hours of Sunday, Kimball police officers responded to a call that lead to the shooting death of a 29-year-old Kimball man, officials said. Brandon Overlin was allegedly shot and killed by Kimball law enforcement on his back porch at 509 E. Second Street at approximately 4 a.m. Sunday morning. Investigating officers at the scene confirmed the shooting death, but gave no other details. According to the Kimball County Attorney’s Office, Overlin was armed when officers arrived to remove him from the property. “During the course of the contact, shots were fired resulting in the death of Mr. Overlin,” wrote David Wilson, Kimball County Attorney. Friends of the family who spoke with The Sun-Telegraph on the condition of anonymity say Overlin had been drinking earlier that night and that the officers were called to remove him from the property after an argument with a family member. Neighbors at the scene reported being wakened by sounds of gunfire around 4 a.m. It is unknown at this time if Overlin fired a shot. According to Wilson, once he has the autopsy results, his office will file the appropriate documents for the appointment of a special prosecutor to conduct a grand jury investigation as required by Nebraska Statutes. Overlin was a long-time resident of Kimball, where he was a cook at Pizza Hut. He worked the morning shift at the restaurant on Saturday. Overlin had three children, ages 8-, 6- and 2-years-old. - The Kimball Observer staff contributed to this report.
