Three People Shot At Benson Park

Three people were wounded after shots rang out in Benson Park near 70th and Military Tuesday night.

The call came in around 9:45 p.m. Police say a male and two females were shot. One of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries. The other two were reported in critical condition.

Joe Adams was an eyewitness and tells 6 News he heard gunshots and saw the victims on the ground. "There was one young man bleeding from the head and there was a young lady beside a car that was bleeding pretty good."

Adams says he rendered aid to the third victim, who he says was shot in the leg. Omaha Police say there were more than 100 people in the park at the time of the shooting, a clear violation of the Douglas County health order of ten or fewer people.

All entrances to the park were still closed as of Tuesday morning as police continue to sort out all of the details.
