Man shot by cop after 'recklessly' driving through barricaded Halloween event: Police

Officers who were handing out candy at the event were alerted that someone was "driving recklessly" down the boulevard, the Omaha Police Department said in a press release. The driver was traveling in the wrong direction with no headlights on, police said.

One of the officers ran in front of the car and "gave multiple loud verbal commands to the driver and held out his hand gesturing for the driver to stop the vehicle," police said.

When the driver continued to move toward the officer, the officer fired seven times, striking him, before the car stopped, police said. The driver was hit three times -- once in the jaw and once in each shoulder, according to Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer.
