Officer shot update...officer died

One of our LPD officers just got shot in the chest while serving a search warrant. 17 year old kid wanted for a murder back in March, still on the loose. No word on how the officer is doing.

Hopefully the officer was wearing a vest.

Prayers sent for that officer and All Law Enforcement personell

No idea if he was wearing a vest or not, but he was hit, so either no vest or hit above the vest.

Terrible ....want them all to be safe and well armed....and well paid .

hope he recovers! most departments require a vest these days. just proof you never know what your walking into

Where is main stream media hawking about it like they would if he had been a looter instead of law enforcement?

thoughts and prayers for the officer and his family.

I pray daily for all LEO.

17 year old kid ....... Already a wasted life and soul at 17 .......sad

Needs to be hunted down and exterminated

Probably just the guns fault.

Sent with prayer.

It's only in the movies where people take shots to the vest and laugh it off. The reality is a hit could result in severe contusion and broken ribs, other trauma such as organ damage, cardiac arrest, not to mention psychological. (depending on a number of factors of course, caliber, velocity, proximity etc.) A hit is a hit with or without body armour.

Found out he was hit below the vest in the abdomen, not the chest. He had emergency surgery and is out of surgery and in critical but stable condition, and will of course require more surgeries. The kid that shot him was caught.

I heard on local am radio show that he was shot in the abdomen. May have been under the vest. Local TV and FM radio were not reporting it yesterday.

Glad they caught the little puke.

Parents need to be held accountable too! This kid didnt turn into a punk overnight.

They were serving a warrant for murder on the kid when the officer was shot. Hope he recovers.

I can’t help but wonder what the story would be if the cop shot first. Or if there was hesitation from the officer due to the recent narrative.

Now cops not only have to worry about not coming home to their families due to being hurt or killed, they have to worry about not coming home due to being prosecuted for following their training

Officer Luis "Mario" Herrera died last night. He's the first Lincoln Police Department officer to die in the little be of duty since 1968.

So sorry to hear this. A friend's daughter is an officer in Lincoln..and she has 3 young children. Everyone worries for her and this is why.

Rest In Pear Brother...

Garry-

Does Nebraska have capital punishment...?

I don't care if the kid is 17. If he has killed 2 different people in 2 different situations, the citizens of NB shouldn't have to pay for his upkeep the next 60-70 years.The first and only felon in SD to die in the electric chair was a guy who shot a state trooper in the late 1940s. South Dakota now has lethal injection and we've nearly cleared "death row" for the past half a dozen years or so-- started with 7, now down to 1. But there has been a rash of homicides in 2020 across the state so the lonely only still on the 'row" will probably get at least one more for company after the various trials...

Very sad

Yes, Nebraska does have capital punishment. There are currently 12 on death row repealing and wasting money. The retired Sparky, the electric chair and use lethal injection.

South Dakota officials finally made the loser from Rapid City take his last breath last year. He had been sentenced to death in the early 1990s and was the longest one of the "row". He used to write "letters to the editor" in the Argus Leader on a regular basis when I used to read that rag. He thought he was smarter than everybody else. Well, not any more...
