They broke ground on the future mental health facility addition to the county jail Tuesday.

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - On Monday, J.P. Lord School stood empty once again after it dismissed students early Thursday when staff found mold in the building. Omaha Public Schools COO Charles Wakefield said it was on equipment that they stored over the summer. "As staff went to pull out that equipment to start the school year, that's when they saw the mold," Wakefield said. Officials identified the mold as cladosporium, which can cause allergies.

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Most of the youths accused of being involved in 64-year-old Mursal Jama's shooting death are not strangers to the justice system. That includes the 11-year-old and 13-year-old boys, who cannot be tried as adults. "They can't be detained even because of their age," said Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine. He said his office is somewhat hamstrung by the current statute, which they've tried to have changed. The two youngest juveniles in this case have criminal records.
