DAVID CITY, Neb. -- One person is dead following an incident with law enforcement in eastern Nebraska. 

It happened Tuesday in David City. 

Officials with the Nebraska State Patrol tell us deputies with the Butler County Sheriff's Office responded to a call of a person with a gun suffering a mental health crisis.
