Police: Nebraska gunman said he killed Colo. man

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Authorities say a gunman who died after a standoff at a Nebraska pharmacy told negotiators he killed a Colorado man in 2011.

The Nebraska State Patrol says 27-year-old Andres Gonzalez said during Tuesday's standoff in Alliance that he killed 38-year-old Joshua Bullock of Denver.

A statement from Patrol spokeswoman Deb Collins says investigators believe Gonzalez killed Bullock around Dec. 1 and left his body in western Nebraska. A rancher found Bullock's burned pickup near Chadron on Dec. 14. Chadron is 50 miles north of Alliance.

The Patrol statement also says Gonzalez's girlfriend has been arrested on a charge of being an accessory to a felony.

Gonzalez died during Tuesday's standoff, during which two officers and a pharmacist were injured. Gonzalez's father was found dead in his home the same day.
