Man accused of stabbing Lincoln Police officer appears in court
A man accused of stabbing a Lincoln Police officer during an officer-involved shooting in December appeared in court Monday.
A judge set bond for Christopher Brennauer, 43, at $500,000.
Lincoln Police said Brennauer stabbed Officer Kyle Russell, after Russell and Officer Josh Atkinson responded to a disturbance call involving a man with a knife in the 3200 block of South 48th Street.
Officials say Brennauer stabbed Russell, who then reached for and fired his weapon – which struck Atkinson in the leg.
Brennauer was shot in the shoulder.
