Three Omaha police offers were wounded and a suspect killed Wednesday in an exchange of gunfire at a gas station.
The suspect, a man in his 20s, had earlier shot a 61-year-old man several times in the chest about noon at a grocery store, Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said. Officers obtained a license plate number from the scene and followed the suspect's car to the gas station, he said.
The officers watched the suspect get out and enter a restroom. He then left the room and began firing on the officers, the chief said.
Two officers were hit, and a third was hit by shrapnel. The officers returned fire, and the suspect was killed.
“This is a very dangerous day involving this suspect in the city of Omaha,” Schmaderer said.
The officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to a local hospital, Omaha police said. The officer hit by shrapnel was later released.
The condition of the other shooting victim is unclear.
