'Cops' Crew Member Killed In Omaha Police Shooting

Police officers who opened fire while disrupting a robbery at a fast-food restaurant in Omaha killed a crew member with the TV show "Cops" as well as the suspect, who was armed with a pellet gun that they thought was a real handgun, authorities said Wednesday.

The suspect fired from the pellet gun before officers returned fire, Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said at a news conference. He said witnesses and officers thought the robbery suspect's Airsoft handgun looked and sounded real, but discovered later that it fires only plastic pellets.

The suspect, whom police identified as 32-year-old Cortez Washington, was struck by the officers' gunfire, but fled outside of the restaurant before collapsing. Officers continued firing on the suspect as he exited the restaurant, and that was when the "Cops" crew member, 38-year-old Bryce Dion, was also struck, said Schamaderer.

LIES unlike no other...

Airsoft guns HAVE BRIGHT BIG NEON ORANGE TIPS AND ONLY USES BATTERIES OR GREEN GAS, CO2 but better for earth...

THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL AIRSOFT GUNS SOUND LIKE REAL GUNS NO ONE DAMN BIT... The electric battery ones sounds like those devices you put on your house deadbolt so you can use your smartphone or pin number to unlock the door which is hard to even hear I know for a fact from the distance the cops were... and the gas ones are a bit louder but sound like a red ryder bb gun from christmas carol movie...

I love how cops always use the background of the people they shoot as a justification to kill them... Like well he was on drugs or was a dealer or had a criminal history...

TO add unless they took of the orange tip of the airsoft gun, you can notice the difference...

And this is my point, cops just want to shoot someone, because it says here the guy shot at them first and you would not feel or hear or see the pellet hit you basically... I have been hit with them before since I play on a team with them...

When will you people even f'ng learn anything?

Common sense people, common fuckingn sense...

Did a BB hit one of the cops?

It could really hurt you know.

I got hit by a BB 20 years ago, and it hurt real bad.
