OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Police on Tuesday afternoon were asking the
public to avoid an area in west Omaha near a Target location at
180th Street and West Center Road.
The update came about an hour after dozens of police officers
were dispatched to the store at 11:59 a.m. after reports of
shots fired in the store. A heavy police presence was seen at
the location shortly after noon.
In an afternoon news conference, Omaha Police said that a man in
his 30s walked into the Target and began firing an AR-15 rifle.
Omaha Police arrived and shot the shooter, killing him.
No other victims have been reported and Omaha Police say no
victims from the scene have gone to area hospitals.
Police are asking anyone with information on the incident to
call them at
402-444-4877.
Omaha Police said in a tweet at 12:22 p.m. that “officers are
clearing the store at this time” and that there were an “unknown
number of victims as the investigation is in the early stages.”
At 12:52 p.m., the OPD account said the scene was secure but
advised the public to avoid the area while they continued their
investigation.
FBI personnel were seen checking cars in the parking lot after
that.
Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer praised the swift response
from authorities.
“When you have a mass shooter in your city you want a massive
response like this,” Schmaderer said.
Remus Smolksy is a witness who was in the Target at the time of
the shooting. He spoke to 6 News and described what he saw.
“Then I saw people running out and I saw a lady carrying her two
kids that looked terrified, pushing a cart,” said Smolksy. “And
one of the employees said that there was a shooter. And so I
made sure the line of people got out and I then I saw another
lady coming out of the store area with two kids. I was at the
flap doors, then she got out and went out the back door of the
warehouse. I went in and I looked left down at the frozen area
and I looked right all the way down to the other end of the
store I could see and I couldn’t see anyone else in there.
That’s when I heard something else that sounded like a shotgun.”
