(AP) — Officials at Omaha’s zoo have moved four African lion cubs to other facilities around the country.

Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium says three female cubs named Zuri, Kya and Leela were sent to Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee, Florida. Male cub Taj is being sent to the Alexandria Zoological Park in Alexandria, Louisiana.

The fifth cub, a male named Josiri, hasn’t been placed yet.

The cubs were born in late 2012 and were later on display at the facility’s Cat Complex. Zoo officials engaged the public through social media to help name them.

(AP) — Two people have been sentenced to decades in prison in connection with the stabbing death of a Columbus man.

Attorney General Jon Bruning said Thursday that Kimberly Henderson received a 50- to 60-year sentence in the death of 51-year-old Steven Jorgensen. Quentin Critser was given a 35- to 45-year sentence.

Henderson pleaded guilty in March to second-degree murder. Critser pleaded guilty to the same charge in December.

Prosecutors say Jorgensen was stabbed to death in his home in May 2013 after trying to defend himself from being robbed.

A third person, Eric Henry, was found guilty in April of first-degree murder and other charges. He is scheduled to be sentenced on May 20.

(AP) — A judge says a North Dakota woman will stand trial for murder after her 13-year-old son died weighing just 21 pounds.

Jessica Jensen’s attorney argued at a preliminary hearing Thursday that the teenager died of an untreated disease, not deliberate starvation.

Judge Gary Lee said that argument was a matter of semantics and that the state had more than met the burden of proof to try the 35-year-old mother.

Detective Laura Forbes testified Thursday that Jensen’s mother believed Jensen did not want her son. Forbes said Jensen told her she had previously locked her son in a room in her home. Forbes said the room had boarded up windows, was filled with trash and smelled like urine and feces.

A pre-trial conference is set for September.

(AP) — Two men have been sentenced to prison for killing another Lincoln man a few days after Christmas in 2012.

On Wednesday 24-year-old Miguel Castillo was given 55 to 70 years. He’d pleaded guilty to being an accessory to second-degree murder and aiding and abetting use of a firearm.

And Judge Paul Merritt Jr. gave 21-year-old Adrian Casares life in prison. He’d pleaded no contest to aiding and abetting second-degree murder.

Castillo and Casares were convicted of killing Tyler Schoenrock on Dec. 30, 2012. Each man says the other shot Schoenrock.

Schoenrock’s body was found on a rural road outside of Lincoln.

The judge thought Casares and Castillo became angry with Schoenrock learned he’d been talking to law enforcement about them and their drug involvement.

(AP) — Authorities have decided to close all hearings, seal court files and make no further public comments about the case against a 9-year-old boy accused of shooting his 4-year-old brother in Hastings.

The decisions were announced in a news release from County Attorney Donna Fegler Daiss (deyes) after a closed hearing on Tuesday in Adams County Juvenile Court.

Last week a juvenile manslaughter charge was filed against the older boy. His name hasn’t been released.

Authorities say the boy fired a .22-caliber rifle bullet that struck the 4-year-old on April 18. The younger boy was pronounced dead later at a local hospital. Other family members were home when the shot was fired.

Authorities have said the rifle is owned by the boyfriend of the victim’s mother.

(AP) — Strong demand for pickup trucks and SUVs is helping the auto industry rebound from a rough winter.

Chrysler had its best April in seven years, boosted by a 52 percent gain in sales of Jeep brand SUVs. GM sales rose 7 percent, led by the Buick Encore small SUV and the Silverado pickup truck. Ford’s F-150 pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the U.S., posted a 7.4 percent gain.

Analysts are expecting an industrywide sales gain of at least 8.5 percent compared with last April. That would mark the best April for the industry since 2005.

There were some soft spots. Ford’s overall sales fell 1 percent in April, hurt by falling sales of smaller cars. At Chrysler, sales of its namesake brand dropped 21 percent while Dodge sales were flat.

(AP) — The Fremont City Council has decided to end bus service in the city this summer.

The council decided Tuesday not to apply for state and federal grants that provide most of the funding for the service.

Bus service will continue until July 1, when grant funding runs outs.

The council began considering whether to end the bus service after noting ridership declines for a couple years. The system carried just over 2,000 riders in the current year, which is down from nearly 2,500 riders in the 2011-2012 budget year.

Officials tried to vary the route but found little interest in the bus.

City staff plans to study other options for providing public transportation.
