Chicago Man Sentenced for Stabbing Officer on Bus

In a tense incident at the Lincoln Bus Depot on October 17, 2023, Simon Kafka, a Chicago man, stabbed Officer Kirby Urbanek in the neck after refusing to leave a bus due to lack of fare. The confrontation escalated when Kafka lunged at officers with a knife and attempted to grab an officer's gun, resulting in Officer Kate Schwenke shooting him to prevent further attacks. Kafka, who expressed remorse and was diagnosed with schizophrenia, was sentenced to 30 to 45 years in prison, avoiding more severe charges through a plea deal. The event highlighted the dangers law enforcement officers face and the consequences of Kafka's actions.

Thousands of Nebraskans start their day with Good Day Lincoln

“Reading the newsletter has become a really positive daily habit for me. I read it while drinking my coffee and planning the day. It saves me a ton of time, but it's really enjoyable too. It's great to have the news filtered down to just a handful of critical events everyday that actually matters to me. I also like reading the community profiles. They interview people locally like teachers, politicians, and small business owners. It's hard to find this anywhere else.”

“I'm a senior citizen here in Lincoln, and this newsletter is like a lifeline. I don't have the attention span these days to read the paper, and Facebook is a mess. This newsletter keeps me informed, without taking the whole day from me.”

“I like how this newsletter keeps me connected with our community. It's great to have a dedicated source that focuses on what's going on locally. So many news companies are focused on huge attention-grabbing national headlines. But, besides the entertainment value, it's not really relevant to my day-to-day. Also it's great the newsletter is free.”

“This newsletter has been a game-changer for my business. It not only highlights local news but also features small businesses like mine. It's a great platform for local exposure.”

“I'm a parent, and it's apparent how busy that makes me. I LOVE newspapers (especially the smell), but I never have time to read it anymore. So thank god this newsletter exists, and I can read it in a few minutes. If anything is really critical or catches my eye, I can always spend more time reading into each piece of news, but it isn't usually necessary.”

“I start my day with this newsletter and it never disappoints. It keeps me informed about local school events and city news in a concise way. It's the perfect blend of brevity and depth, and I appreciate that it's free and accessible.”

“I moved away a few years ago. I use Good Day Lincoln to keep one foot in the town I grew up in, and my friends and family continue to live in. It keeps me connected to my hometown, and I look forward to reading it quickly every morning.”
