(AP) — Police have charged two people with first-degree murder in connection with the stabbing death of a northeast Nebraska man.

The Columbus Police Department says 26-year-old Quentin Critser and 31-year-old Kimberly Henderson were arrested Wednesday in connection with the death of 51-year-old Steven Jorgensen.

A third person, 30-year-old Eric Henry, has been issued an arrest warrant. Police say he faces a first-degree murder charge. He is currently at the Butler County Jail for an unrelated crime.

Jorgensen was found dead inside his Columbus home on May 22. Police say he was stabled multiple times with a knife and it appears he was killed during a struggle.

Authorities have not released additional information about the case.

Court records do not list attorneys.

(AP) — Police say one of three people shot on a pedestrian bridge that connects Omaha with Council Bluffs, Iowa, has died.

Omaha police say 26-year-old Shamari Richards died Wednesday morning from injuries sustained on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. The other victims, 29-year-old Kevin Jenkins and 19-year-old Jeremy Fejeran, have non-life threatening injuries.

The shootings were reported a little after 1:15 a.m. Wednesday. The bridge closes at 11 p.m.

Police say there had been a disturbance at the bridge before the shots rang out. Witnesses told officers that they heard gunshots and then saw a crowd of people scatter. Police didn’t report any arrests.

(AP) — Lightning was blamed for a fire that destroyed a warehouse in the southeast Nebraska community of Jansen.

Jansen Fire Chief Gary Hermsmeier said the lightning hit the building late Monday during a night of severe weather.

The building was burning when firefighters arrived. It was locked and crews had difficulty getting inside.

Firefighters eventually decided the building couldn’t be saved and they concentrated on protecting neighbors.

The building held scaffoldings and other construction equipment.

Firefighters from neighboring departments in Jefferson and Thayer counties helped fight the blaze.

(AP) — Weather officials say multiple tornadoes have been reported in south-central Nebraska.

The National Weather Service says multiple tornadoes touched the ground Wednesday afternoon in the counties of Clay, Hamilton and York.

The first tornado was reported shortly before 3 p.m. in a rural area just north of Clay Center. A second tornado was later reported near the city of York.

Meteorologist Mike Moritz says a preliminary report indicates the first tornado near Clay Center was on the ground for several minutes. Additional information about the other tornados was not immediately available.

(AP) — It’s now hard to miss the Central Nebraska Humane Society shelter in Grand Island.

Local businessman Fred Schritt donated a sign that was installed Tuesday. It features a small blue convertible driven by Snoopy with Garfield beside him.

The car sits atop a pole in front of the shelter.

Humane Society Executive Director Laurie Dethloff calls it “a sheer, expensive, wonderful gesture.”

Schritt has other cars mounted outside his auto-body shop. He says he hopes it will attract people to the Humane Society, where they will adopt a pet.
