One person injured after road rage shooting in Omaha, police say

OMAHA, Neb. —

One man was injured and another was arrested after a road rage incident that led to a shooting in Omaha on Monday, police said.

Authorities responded to a call of a shooting around 1 p.m. near 90th and West Center Road to the Walgreens in the area. Responding officers say they found a 35-year-old man in the parking lot with a gunshot wound to the arm.

Officials said the man was taken to Bergan Mercy in critical condition. His injuries are not considered life-threatening.

Investigators determined he was driving recklessly when he pulled up next to a van at a red light. Omaha police said the driver of that van, a 38-year-old man, and his passenger exchanged gestures at that red light with the victim.

During this exchange, the 38-year-old claimed they heard a loud noise and thought they were being shot at. That man then began shooting at the victim.

Officers determined the victim did not have a weapon.

The 38-year-old man was booked at Douglas County Corrections for second-degree assault and two felony weapons charges.

Omaha police blocked eastbound traffic on West Center Road at 96th Street for about two hours while investigating the incident.
