An 18-year-old man accused in the attack of two workers at a North Platte Youth Shelter has reached a deal with prosecutors.

According to court records, Keenan Lambert appeared in Lincoln County District Court on Monday.  As part of the deal, prosecutors reduced an attempted 1st degree murder charge to 1st degree assault and use of a weapon to commit a felony.  Lambert pleaded no contest to both counts.

Prosecutors say Lambert and 16-year-old Jordan Baker attacked Robin Schneider and Diana Johns at the Nebraska Youth Shelter last July.   Baker is accused of stabbing Johns twice in the neck, while Lambert allegedly stabbed Schneider in the head and neck.

The duo then stole a vehicle before being captured in Dawson County.

Baker made a plea deal with prosecutors in February.

Lambert and Baker will be sentenced on April 28.
