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.
