A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until midnight for much of eastern Nebraska, including Omaha. A tornado watch has been issued for Cass, Gage, Jefferson, Johnson, Lancaster, Nemaha, Otoe, Pawnee, Richardson, Saline and Seward counties until 10 p.m. Sunday.
The Omaha police helicopter was used Wednesday night to help search for two suspects who opened fire outside a Bellevue home.
Bellevue police officers were dispatched to a home near Betz Road and Lloyd Street around 7:15 p.m. Witnesses reported that a group of five men got into a fight and at some point someone pulled a gun and started shooting. No one was hurt, though several bullets hit a second-floor balcony.
The two suspects were last seen running from the area. The Omaha police helicopter joined the search, but both suspects remain at large.
