 'Tragic': Catholic priest died after attack in church rectory in Nebraska 

A Catholic priest in a small Nebraska city died after he was attacked in a church rectory early Sunday morning. The Archdiocese of Omaha in a statement said Rev. Stephen Gutgsell was assaulted “during an invasion at the rectory” of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Fort Calhoun, Nebraska.

Fort Calhoun is located about 16 miles north of Omaha. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office in a statement confirmed that there was an "incident" at the church at around 5 a.m.. Police responded to 911 calls about a break-in and found an alleged attacker and an injured Gutgsell inside the church, the Associated Press reported.
