Police arrest man who fire shots in bar, later at officers

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police have arrested a 63-year-old man they say fired several shots inside a southwest Omaha bar, then retreated to a nearby apartment building where he fired more shots at officers.

The shooting at the Parliament Pub, which is located in an outdoor shopping center, happened around 2 p.m. Police spokeswoman Jessica Swanson says several people were inside the bar when the man walked in with a long gun and began shooting. Swanson say no one was shot.

Swanson says the shooter then left the bar and went into a nearby apartment and later fired shots at responding officers, but no officers were injured. Swanson says a police negotiator was able to talk the man into surrendering around 3 p.m. Wednesday.
