A police officer was shot four times on Friday while responding to a shoplifting incident at a Nebraska mall.
Omaha Police Department Officer Jeffrey Wittstruck responded to a shoplifting call at JCPenny in Westroads Mall, where a suspected shoplifter reported by security ultimately refused to comply and shot Wittstruck four times, the department stated in a press release.
Wittstruck sustained gunshot wounds in his head and face. He was transported to the Nebraska Medical Center in critical condition. The department said Wittstruck is now “stable and recovering.”
Store security had detained 21-year-old Kenya Lamont Jenkins Jr. after he was observed stuffing shirts in his backpack and exiting the store without paying.
