Omaha Target shooting suspect bought AR-style rifle 4 days earlier, police say

ANebraska man who was fatally shot after he opened fire in an Omaha, Nebraska, Target store on Tuesday bought the AR-style rifle he fired in the store four days before the incident, police said.

The suspect, Joseph Jones, 32, of suburban Omaha, was killed by an Omaha police officer who responded to the Target after reports of gunfire shortly before noon, police said in a statement Wednesday.

No one else was hurt. Terrified customers ran from the store or hid in areas like fitting rooms.

Jones had 13 loaded ammunition magazines, police said. Authorities described the weapon as an AR-15-style rifle.

A motive has not been released. An investigation continues, police said in Wednesday’s statement.

2. I live in Omaha!

And just a few weeks ago, my mother and I were in that very same Target store on Center! We stopped there between her doctors appointments! I am glad no one else was injured or killed, but talk about eerie!

3. Glad you weren't there!

Both of my sons and their families live there, and I'm glad they weren't at the Target store either!

4. Recently 21 suggested fast food, we chose healthier delivery...employee was shot an hour later

It was a place we often frequent. The employee was wounded, not killed. Police have arrested the shooter.. They haven’t said if it was directed but the employees (including wounded man) apparently hid in the cooler.
