Overview
- Detectives obtained a plate number at Phil's Cash Saver in north Omaha, where a man in his 50s was shot multiple times around 12:20 p.m. and taken to a hospital in critical condition.
- Officers tracked the suspect vehicle to the QuikTrip near 32nd and L, where the suspect went into a bathroom and gunfire erupted when police tried to call him out.
- A civilian who was inside the bathroom during the first volley was escorted out unharmed before the suspect exited and opened fire again, striking a second officer.
- Two officers were hit by gunfire and a third was injured by shrapnel; all were hospitalized with injuries described as non-life-threatening and placed on paid critical-incident leave.
- Investigators say body-worn cameras recorded the incident, the suspect’s identity is being withheld, and multiple agencies are assisting as road closures and traffic controls were implemented near the scene.
