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.

Dark five words man said before attacking girl, 7, and her mother with a lightsaber
A Nebraska man who police said beat a woman and her seven-year-old daughter with a toy lightsaber had a chilling message for them, 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, a small town 60 miles south of Omaha. 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***king house,' White said, per the police report. Lunzmann ushered her kids into the house, but not before the wanna-be Jedi 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. Shortly after this, White retreated to his apartment, according to Lunzmann, who called police at around 8:36pm local time. Beyond the victims' testimony, two witnesses who live in an apartment across the street told police they saw White attack Lunzmann and her daughter with the lightsaber. 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. Incredibly, 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 said he attacked them because he was angry about his rent being raised. It wasn't entirely clear why Lunzmann or her daughter would be at fault for his rent going up based on the police report. Deputy Matthew Kadavy, who was at the scene and authored the affidavit, was able to seize White's lightsaber with the help of White's father. It was described as a 'higher quality device' that was about three-and-a-half feet long and made of 'metal and thick plastic.' The lightsaber could 'cause significant pain and injury when used to strike an individual,' according to the affidavit. White was arrested and is now being held in jail as he awaits his next court appearance, scheduled for June 3.
