OMAHA, Neb. (AP) An Omaha police officer who was shot in the face and head last week after responding to a shoplifting call has been released from the hospital, the Omaha Police Department said.
Police said Wednesday that 39-year-old Officer Jeffrey Wittstruck is at home recuperating, the Omaha World-Herald reported.
Wittstruck was shot last Friday during a struggle with a man suspected of shoplifting a package of T-shirts from a store in Westroads Mall. Police later arrested 21-year-old Kenya Lamont Jenkins Jr. following a high-speed chase on Interstate 80.
Jenkins is charged with first-degree assault of a police officer and other counts. He’s being held on $10 million bail.
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.
