Nebraska cops thwarted an active shooter who began firing off rounds of ammunition inside an Omaha Target before he was gunned down Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

The suspect, armed with an AR-15 rifle, sent shoppers and workers fleeing for cover when he began shooting inside the megastore at around 12 p.m., according to Omaha police.

A potential massacre was averted when the first cops responding to the scene quickly shot and killed the unidentified man...

...Target employees helped shoppers make it out of the store safely and the retail workers just went through active shooter training.

Went shooting at Target and missed everyone.

Thank goodness the cops had better aim

Hang the shooter’s carcass from a nearby utility pole and leave it to rot for the vultures.

“Cleanup on aisle 3.”

No you didn’t! LOL

>> Evidence indicates he fired off multiple rounds, but it isn’t yet known if he fired at anyone, the lawman said... “The first arriving officers went into the building, confronted the suspect and shot him dead”...

Suicide by cop?

And that's the way it's done!

(or should be...)

My guess, drug induced psychosis.

[Leep]

Didn’t kill anyone
...and the police were at the scene in record time?

[Leep]

I was thinking the same thing.
In fact,I was wondering if he called the police on himself?

Leftists are murdering and committing suicide for the good of their vaunted gun control. Or so it seems.

I’ll take my hat off now. I need the foil to cook a roast.

Just curious, why hasn’t the Target sign outside the stores every been shot at? Asking for a friend.

[FreedomPoster]

I can’t imagine that some redneck, somewhere, hasn’t taken a pot shot at one.

[SkyDancer]

I’ve been around and never have seen one with a bullet hole.

[FreedomPoster]

They probably get fixed right up. It’s not like it’s a road sign in a poor rural county.

[redfreedom]

I see your point. One of my pet peeves is red necks shooting up traffic signs. It makes all gun owners look bad plus creates a huge expense for the road maintenance people.

Good thing the Target wasn’t in Uvalde, TX.

Unidentified. May be from some protected class?
