Police say 4 shot to death at home in Wyoming town; suspect in custody

By Ben Neary, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – 12 minutes ago

WHEATLAND, Wyo. - Four people were shot to death at a home in a small southeast

Wyoming town and a suspect was arrested after a brief standoff, authorities

said.

Police said some of the victims were minors, but their ages haven't been

released.

Officers responded to a report of shots fired at the residence in Wheatland,

about 90 miles (145 kilometres) north of Cheyenne, shortly before 6 p.m.

Thursday, police said.

Police said they arrested a man identified as Everett Conant, in his mid-30s.

They said he surrendered after the short standoff.

A fifth victim was injured but survived and was transported to a hospital,

police said.

Police didn't release that person's name. However, Cheyenne Regional Medical

Center spokesman said a woman named Suzette Conant was admitted to

the hospital Thursday and was in good condition Friday. Public records show

Suzette Conant shares an address with Everett Conant.

Two victims were taken to Platte Memorial Hospital in Wheatland, where one was

pronounced dead and another was transported to another hospital. It wasn't clear

whether that was the victim who survived.

The Platte County Sheriff's Department said Everett Conant was in the county

jail Friday, but it had no record of whether he had an attorney.

Police referred additional questions to County Attorney , who didn't

immediately return calls.

Wheatland is a farming and ranching community of about 3,600 at the edge of the

plains, not far from the Laramie Mountains.
