OPD Officer Involved In No-Knock Warrant Shooting Fired

Bystanders stand near police barricades following the sniper shooting in Dallas on Thursday.

An Omaha police officer who shot and killed a man during a no-knock warrant is out of a job. WOWT reports that the Omaha Police Department has fired Officer Adam Vail. Police Chief Todd Schmaderer announced last September that Vail was in violation of the department's protocol when issuing a warrant to 37-year-old Cameron Ford on August 28th, 2024. Vail shot and killed Ford during the incident.
