An undercover drug sting leads to shots fired. It happened outside the Comfort Inn Hotel near 13th St. and Interstate 80 around 9:30pm Wednesday night.
Omaha police tell Channel 6 news that an undercover officer discharged a weapon during the incident. Investigators aren't saying if the suspect fired at the officers.
Police were monitoring a potential drug deal and attempted to make contact with a suspect. The suspect then rammed his vehicle into the officer’s unmarked vehicle and then fled the scene.
It was then that the officer fired a weapon at the suspect vehicle.
Nearby, a small tree had been upended and there was glass in the street as though the truck had barreled through the parking lot.
Police are looking for a Ford F150 pickup.
No officers were injured in the incident.
