Omaha police make arrest in abduction of woman, baby

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say a person has been arrested on suspicion of abducting a 20-year-old woman and a 10-month-old baby at gunpoint.

The Omaha Police Department says officers received a report early Wednesday of shots fired in a northern part of the city. Witnesses told officers a suspect had entered a residence and left with a woman and baby.

Witnesses say the suspect had a gun and fired several shots before leaving the scene.

Officers located the suspect's vehicle outside another residence and safely removed the woman and baby. The suspect, whose name has not been released, was detained without incident.

Authorities say charges are pending. Additional information was not released.
