Omaha police officers shoot, kill active shooter at Target in west Omaha - KETV Omaha

OKAY. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I WANT TO GIVE A QUICK UPDATE ON WHAT TOOK PLACE AT TARGET. AT 1159. CALL STARTED COMING IN TO OUR 911 CENTER ABOUT AN ACTIVE SHOOTER WITHIN TARGET 178TH AND CENTER THAT INITIATED HEAVY LOCAL, FEDERAL AND STATE RESPONSE. YOU SAW THE POLICE OFFICERS HERE, EVERYBODY IN THERE IN THE CITY RESPONDED TO THIS CALL. IF THEY WERE ABLE TO. THE FIRST ARRIVING OFFICERS WENT INTO THE BUILDING, CONFRONTED THE SUSPECT AND SHOT HIM DEAD. THE SUSPECT IS A WHITE MALE. I’M GOING TO ESTIMATE THAT HE’S IN HIS THIRTIES. HE HAD A AR 15 RIFLE WITH HIM AND PLENTY OF AMMUNITION. THERE’S EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST WITH SHELL CASINGS THAT HE ENTERED THE TARGET AND WAS FIRING ROUNDS. IT’S UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME IF HE WAS FIRING AT ANYBODY. WE DID A SEARCH FOR ANY VICTIMS CUSTOMERS OR WORKERS BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE HIDING IN THERE. WE COULD NOT FIND ANYBODY THAT HAS BEEN HURT. WE DID A SECOND SWEEP JUST TO REALLY ENSURE IT. AND WE’RE IN THE PROCESS OF A THIRD AT THIS POINT IN TIME. WE DON’T HAVE ANY WORKERS OR CUSTOMERS OR ANY CIVILIANS IN THIS MATTER HURT OTHER THAN THE SUSPECT WHO IS DEAD AND BY THE BY GUNSHOT TO OMAHA, POLICE. WE WILL CONTINUALLY UPDATE THE MEDIA ON THIS SITUATION. IT’S UNFOLDING. THE INVESTIGATION IS JUST STARTING. WE DID RECEIVE I KNOW AT THIS POINT, AT LEAST 20 9911 CALLS FOR THE ACTIVE SHOOTER RESPONSE. AND MY MY INITIAL OR MY INITIAL TAKE IS WHEN I CAME OUT HERE AND HEARD THIS COMING, THAT THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT WHEN YOU HAVE AN ACTIVE SHOOTER IN YOUR CITY, YOU WANT A MASSIVE RESPONSE LIKE THIS. SO I WANT TO THANK ALL THE SURROUNDING AGENCIES, FEDERAL OR COUNTY, STATE. AND I WANT TO THANK THE
