OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A man accused of killing another man and setting fire to an apartment has been released from the hospital and taken to the Douglas County jail.
Omaha police say 32-year-old Antone Page was released Tuesday from St. Elizabeth’s burn unit in Lincoln. He was charged in a warrant earlier this month with first-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder.
Police say Page stabbed 48-year-old Steven Edwards on May 6, and then touched off a fire after splashing gasoline onto Edwards and others there. A police officer fired four gunshots into the apartment door lock so he and other officers could get in. Another officer used a stun gun to subdue Page and pull him from the burning apartment.
Edwards died at a hospital a few hours later.
