Omaha Police say a man who fired shots at officers Thursday afternoon near 65th and Sorenson Parkway was found dead in an apartment complex from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Omaha Police went to the apartment to search for a suspect, who they believe was the same man wanted on a kidnapping warrant out of California according to Deputy Police Chief Ken Kanger.
He says shots were fired at that scene, police said, but there was no indication any officers fired back. The case has been turned over to the officer-involved investigations team, Kanger said.
"Because officers were present and rounds were fired, and technically an individual will be considered 'in custody' under the State of Nebraska," he said.
No one else was present in the apartment when officers entered, he said. Nathan Hale Magnet Middle School and Roncalli Catholic High School were "locked out" during the incident.
