My life was shattered when two off-duty officers, hired as security by Extasis nightclub, tragically shot and killed two innocent men. One of these men was my husband, the father of our children. This incident is not just a personal tragedy but a public safety issue that affects us all in Omaha, NE.

Extasis nightclub's decision to hire these individuals as their security personnel has resulted in devastating consequences. Their role was supposed to ensure peace and safety for the patrons of the nightclub; instead, they became perpetrators of violence.

According to data from the Gun Violence Archive, there were 417 mass shootings in the United States in 2019 alone. This incident at Extasis adds to this alarming statistic and highlights an urgent need for stricter regulations on private security firms and their hiring practices.

We must hold establishments like Extasis accountable for their choices that directly impact public safety. By closing down this nightclub, we send a clear message that such negligence will not be tolerated.

Please join me in calling on local authorities to shut down Extasis Nightclub immediately. Your signature can help prevent further tragedies like ours from happening again. Sign this petition today.
