Omaha police say no one hit by shots fired at officers

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say an unmarked police vehicle was struck when shots were fired at plainclothes officers who’d been following two men in a car.

Police say no one was injured in Wednesday afternoon’s incident on the east side of the city. A police news release says the officers reported seeing two suspicious men get into the car, so they followed it for a block to an area when they saw several more people. Police say shots were then fired at the officers, and the people fled — some on foot and several in the car the officers had been following.

Officer Phillip Anson said Thursday that the officers didn’t fire back.

The car was found a few blocks away, and four people were taken into custody. Police haven’t released any names nor said whether the four have been charged.
