Sheriff's deputy on ventilator, had surgeries after being shot four times

Neil Stretesky came out the front door shooting when four western Nebraska law enforcement officers pulled up to his house on a dead-end street in Big Springs with arrest warrants.

Deuel County Deputy Michael Hutchinson, who never fired his gun, was shot four times, suffering a serious abdomen wound, according to an account provided by Deuel County Attorney Joel Jay. Moments later, 66-year-old Stretesky — who was out of jail on an attempted first-degree murder charge in Colorado — lay mortally wounded, shot by Sheriff Scott DeCoste.

Stretesky’s record and reputation were widely known and the reason why four lawmen teamed up to serve the warrants Thursday, Jay said. Stretesky was charged with attempted murder after beating his 90-year-old father with a hammer in an incident during which he threatened a Colorado sheriff with a rifle last year.

Good news. He is off the venitlator now and was able to talk to his family. He is having yet another surgery tomorrow. Continue to pray for him and his family.

Good news! Here is the latest report from Mike’s son:

Update on Mike:

My father is off of dialysis! He is walking unaided! He is off of antibiotics! He does have a drain that is clearing an abscess where his spleen used to be. He is on the road to recovery and in very good spirits!
