Man sought on drug warrant fatally shot by deputies in Omaha

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man sought on an arrest warrant for drugs has been fatally shot by Douglas County sheriff's deputies in southeast Omaha.

The shooting was reported around 3:40 p.m. Tuesday. Authorities say shots were fired as deputies tried to take the 25-year-old man into custody. A 911 audio recording shows deputies reported that they'd been fired upon and called for help. None of the deputies reported being injured. A 19-year-old woman near the scene was treated for cuts to a leg. It's unclear how her injuries occurred.

The man was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival at an Omaha hospital. He's been identified as David Anderson.

The deputies involved have been placed on paid administrative leave. The Omaha Police Department has taken over the shooting investigation.
