{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A police-involved shootout in Omaha, Nebraska on Sunday left one man dead after he barricaded himself inside a home and fired off rounds from a gun.
Deputy Chief Ken Kanger said Omaha officers responded to a call regarding a white male in his 30s who was firing rounds off inside a house.
Kanger said a woman was inside the house. A trained negotiator arrived on the scene and made contact with the suspect, Kanger said. The negotiator spoke with the suspect for around 20 minutes and the woman was released.

At some point, the suspect exited the front of the house. Kanger said, "commands were given and shots were fired." Multiple police officers reportedly fired their weapons.
It was not clear what the suspect's association with the home was or the woman who was at the residence.
