Off-duty Officers Cleared in Fatal Shooting of Two Immigrants in Nebraska

The officers, working security at a nightclub, were justified in using deadly force after being fired upon, says police chief.

Two off-duty officers in Omaha, Nebraska, will not face charges for fatally shooting two men identified as illegal immigrants from Mexico and Nicaragua.
The incident occurred outside the Extasis Night Club, where the officers were working security and responded to gunfire from one of the men.
Douglas County Attorney reviewed witness statements and surveillance footage, concluding the officers' use of deadly force was appropriate.
The shooting has sparked calls for a federal investigation by the League of United Latin American Citizens, amid concerns over the officers' actions.
Police Chief Todd Schmaderer plans to address the shooting in a community meeting, aiming to rebuild trust with the Latino community.
