Fallen Lincoln Police Investigator Mario Herrera to be honored with a blood drive

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — The Nebraska Community Blood Bank is hosting a special blood drive Friday to honor Lincoln Police Investigator Mario Herrera.

The “12 Days of Hope” event will be held at Lincoln Fire & Rescue’s station at 6601 Pine Lake Road.

Herrera was shot in the line of duty in 2020.

Officials say he had 12 extra days to spend with his family thanks to transfusions from generous blood donors.

The drive goes from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Many time slots were still available as of Monday.
