No charges in fatal weekend shooting in North Omaha<\/a><\/p>\n

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – Authorities said no charges will be filed in the shooting death of a 37-year-old man in North Omaha over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Brandon Jones, 37, was killed and four others were injured in a shooting reported near 24th and Binney streets around 3 a.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n

Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine told First Alert 6 on Wednesday that no charges have been filed in Jones\u2019 death, saying shots had been fired at him in self-defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people that fired at him were justified in doing what they did \u2014 obviously he wasn\u2019t justified in coming in with a gun and firing at people inside,” Kleine said.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors shared details about the case with First Alert 6 on Wednesday, saying Jones was upset after he was asked to leave an after-hours gathering at a business, and returned with a gun. He allegedly made threats then fired multiple shots, and gunfire was exchanged.<\/p>\n

When police arrived on the scene after a ShotSpotter activation, they located Jones and another victim. Officers immediately began CPR on Jones before he was taken to Nebraska Medicine, where he later died, reports state.<\/p>\n

Police reports indicate officers also found a 32-year-old man with a gunshot wound in the lower left side of his back at the scene; his injuries were determined not to be life-threatening.<\/p>\n

Authorities later identified three more victims who arrived at CUMC with gunshot wounds after the shooting: a 57-year-old man, a 55-year-old man, and a 48-year-old man. All three were transferred to CHI-Bergan Mercy hospital for treatment, but initial reports indicated their injuries were not life-threatening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
