BEATRICE – A preliminary hearing is set for September 29th, for one of two men charged in an incident where shots were fired into a Beatrice home in early August.

18-year-old Colten Anderson, of Firth is charged with discharging a firearm near a vehicle or building and use of a firearm to commit felony.  Anderson requested a preliminary hearing on the two felony charges, which will be held in Gage County Court. 

Also facing similar charges is 19-year-old Jordan Meyer of Lincoln.  He earlier waived his right to a preliminary hearing and was bound over for arraignment in Gage County District Court.  That arraignment is set for October 6th.

The two suspects were arrested on warrants at their homes. The gun charges against them carry potential prison terms of up to 50 years, with mandatory five-year minimums.

Five people were inside the house targeted, but no one was injured.
