Gas leak forces evacuations

Residents of five buildings at an Omaha apartment/townhome complex were briefly evacuated Monday morning due to a gas leak.

Firefighters say a construction crew broke a line at the Bluffs at Cherry Hills near North 108th Street and Redick Avenue shortly after 8 a.m.

News of a gas leak in the area had everyone a little jumpy after the deadly explosion caused by a gas leak in Benson last month.

"It was just scary. Scary with the big explosion that happened the other day, you know. Yeah, so hopefully we're OK now," said resident Samantha Hansen.

MUD was called to fix the problem and residents were soon allowed back into their homes.
