Man attacks girl, 7, and her mother with a toy lightsaber outside their home
A man beat a woman and her seven-year-old daughter with a toy lightsaber, according to court records.
Aidan White, 25, has been charged with felony counts of child abuse and second-degree assault for allegedly attacking Saundra Lunzmann, 37, and her child in the front yard of their home in Auburn.
On the evening of April 28, Lunzmann was out on her front stoop when she observed White interacting with her kids, according to an arrest affidavit from the Nemaha County Sheriff's Office obtained by The Smoking Gun.
Lunzmann's daughter, identified as K.L., eventually came running to her crying while holding her arm, according to the affidavit. When Lunzmann asked White if he hit the little girl, he flew off the handle, police said.
'I'm not in the mood, get back in your f***ing house,' White said, per the police report.
Lunzmann ushered her kids into the house, but not before he charged at her with the lightsaber, hitting her in the right arm and shoulder area, according to the report.
The girl was reportedly struck by White on her right ring finger. Police indicated that both Lunzmann and her daughter had signs of redness in the areas they said they were hit.
Lunzmann and the witnesses also told police that White, who is on the autism spectrum, is prone to violent outbursts, once chasing a neighbor down the street with an axe.
White returned to Lunzmann's front yard as police were still investigating and admitted to the assaults.
He apologized to Lunzmann and her daughter. According to police, he knew what he did was 'unacceptable behavior' and was 'cordial with law enforcement.'
White was arrested and is now being held in jail as he awaits his next court appearance, scheduled for June 3.

Minnesota lawmaker killed on Saturday served with compassion, governor says
WASHINGTON, June 14 (Reuters) - Melissa Hortman - the senior Democratic state assemblywoman and former assembly speaker in Minnesota who was fatally shot along with her husband on Saturday - was remembered by Governor Tim Walz as someone with "grace, compassion, and tirelessness." The lawmaker and her husband, Mark Hortman, were killed by a suspected gunman posing as a police officer in an apparent "politically motivated assassination," according to Walz. They were married for 31 years and had two children. The lawmaker was elected to the Minnesota Legislature in 2004, according to the Minnesota House of Representatives website. Among issues she focused on were environmental causes, racial equality, reproductive rights and stricter gun control. Advocacy groups pointed to her support for police reforms after the 2020 murder George Floyd, a Black man who died after a Minneapolis police offer knelt on his neck for several minutes. She helped advance a legislation that banned police choke holds. Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris described Hortman as "outstanding public servant." Harris added: "She passed legislation that enshrined freedoms and increased opportunity for the people of Minnesota. I saw her impact firsthand when I was with her in Minnesota." Hortman held a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and philosophy from Boston University and a Master's of Public Administration from the Harvard Kennedy School. She also worked as an intern for former U.S. Senator Al Gore and as a legislative correspondent for former U.S. Senator John Kerry, according to local media. "A formidable public servant and a fixture of the state Capitol, Melissa Hortman woke up every day determined to make our state a better place. She served the people of Minnesota with grace, compassion, and tirelessness," Walz said. Hortman, 55, represented Minnesota House District 34B. Outside politics, she worked as a private attorney and volunteered at the local school board and Sunday school at Saint Timothy Catholic Church in Blaine, according to ABC News. The Minnesota House of Representatives Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Caucus said Hortman "talked a lot about following the Golden Rule, and the value that 'to whom much is given, much is expected.' She felt she had the ability and the obligation to serve others." Minnesota state Senator John Hoffman and his wife were also multiple times in their home on Saturday but Walz said he was "cautiously optimistic" that they would survive "this assassination attempt" as they underwent surgery. Hortman and her husband were shot dead in their home in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Park. Law enforcement officials said the gunman attacked the Hoffmans at around 2 a.m. CDT (0700 GMT) and then drove about five miles to the Hortmans' residence.

Man arrested after 'intentionally' driving into crowd of protesters at 'No Kings Day' rally in Virginia
A man who police say intentionally drove into a crowd of protestors at a 'No Kings Day' rally in Virginia has been arrested and charged. Joseph R. Checklick Jr., 21, drove his SUV through a dispersing crowd in a parking lot, which led to him 'striking at least one person with his vehicle,' police said in a statement. The protest took place throughout Saturday afternoon in Culpeper, a small town roughly 70 miles from Washington, D.C., where President Donald Trump 's birthday military parade - the event 'No Kings' organizers are trying to counter - has already commenced. As of 3:45pm, the Culpeper Police Department said no injuries had been reported as a result of Checklick's alleged attack. The person who was struck by his vehicle also hasn't been identified. As of now, Checklick has been charged with reckless driving, which is merely a class 1 misdemeanor under Virginia state law. This kind of crime comes with no jail time and a mandatory minimum fine of $250. Checklick could face more charges in the future, as the investigation is active and ongoing, police said. He is being held without bond at the Culpeper County Jail. Culpeper Democrats posted on Facebook, thanking Culpeper Police Department for their 'quick response and for keeping our protest safe.' The Culpeper Police Department told that it asking anyone who has information or witnessed the incident at the protest to contact Detective Payne or email the department at tips@ Because the investigation is still in its early stages, a police spokesperson said 'we aren't releasing any information regarding potential or alleged motives for Mr. Checklick Jr's actions.' Social media reports showed large crowds at the 'No Kings Day' protest in Culpeper, with organizers claiming that more than 600 people showed up. Across the country, there have been some 2,000 'No Kings Day' protests, with attendees pushing back against what they describe as Trump's march toward authoritarianism on issues such as immigration enforcement, civil rights and cuts to the federal government through DOGE. It's unclear what Checklick's possible motives were, but Saturday hasn't been a day lacking in political violence. Early on Saturday morning, a gunman entered the residence of Minnesota state Senator John Hoffman, a Democrat, and his wife early Saturday, shooting both and leaving them critically injured. He then proceeded to the home of former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman, where she and her husband were fatally shot. Vance Luther Boelter, 57, who was appointed by Walz in 2019 to serve a four-year stint on the Governor's Workforce Development Board, has been identified as the suspect in the quadruple shooting Vance Luther Boelter, 57, who was appointed by Governor Tim Walz in 2019 to serve a four-year stint on the Governor's Workforce Development Board, has been identified as the suspect in the quadruple shooting. The first shooting occurred just after 2am at Hoffman's home in Champlin, about 20 miles from Minneapolis. Hoffman and his wife were shot multiple times, KSTP reported. The second attack took place at around 4am at Hortman's Brooklyn Park residence, eight miles south. After that shooting, police engaged the suspect in a gunfight on the street, officials said. Drew Evans, head of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, confirmed that the suspect escaped during the exchange and remains at large. According to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Boelter stands at 6-foot-1, weighs roughly 220 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen on Saturday morning in Minneapolis, wearing a light-colored cowboy hat, a dark long-sleeve shirt, and light pants. Authorities have urged residents not to approach Boelter if they see him. He is considered 'armed and dangerous.'

'Explosion' on Las Vegas strip after car 'flees scene': 'It sounded like a bomb'
An explosion has rocked the Las Vegas strip with dramatic footage showing flames erupting outside the Aria Resort and Casino. The fire began near a vehicle just off the strip, quickly engulfing at least two palm trees in front of the luxury hotel, according to witnesses on social media. Footage shared online shows black smoke billowing into the sky as fire crews race to contain the blaze. No injuries have been reported and there is no damage to nearby hotels, according to initial reports. Witnesses described the terrifying moment flames burst into view. 'Big explosion. We just heard what sounded like a bomb. Right in front of the Aria,' one bystander said in a video shared from the scene. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police have now issued a statement confirming the cause of the fire. 'We are investigating a small fire in the 3700 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard,' the department said. 'The fire was contained to a small area and was extinguished quickly. It was learned that an occupant in a vehicle threw fireworks causing a tree to catch fire.' Firefighters remain at the scene as the investigation continues. In a video posted from the scene, TikToker Baby Khaled claimed he and others 'heard an explosion' and then spotted a car speeding away from the area. Khaled shared footage of the skidding vehicle and declared: 'Let's find this car.' Other witnesses also flooded social media with clips of the blaze erupting outside the Aria Resort and Casino. The explosion outside the Aria Resort and Casino comes just days after a fatal shooting shook the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday night. A man and his wife were gunned down near the iconic Bellagio fountains in what police described as an 'isolated incident' involving individuals who were known to each other.
