Original post: The City of Omaha was kind enough to let me finish my career at the Omaha Police Dept front desk on light duty, and kept me on when I was diagnosed.

No word on who the officer that is down identity. I have many good friends in the Dept.

This shooting is 2 blocks from the home Marta and I bought just before we married, and owned for over 30 years.
