Two off-duty police officers in Nebraska’s largest city shot and killed two men in an SUV, though authorities have provided few details about the confrontation.
The two Omaha officers were working at a local business at around 2 a.m. Saturday when they opened fire on the men in the SUV, police said.
One of the officers was wearing a body camera when the shooting happened, and detectives are reviewing local businesses’ security footage as part of the investigation, authorities said.
Looks like there's a chance we can get something close to the full details as to why this happened.
In other news... this article is an exact copy of this one, word for word: https://www.kob.com/news/us-and-world-news/off-duty-nebraska-police-officers-shoot-and-kill-two-men/
I'm guessing Dave Collins wrote it originally and then The AP picked it up and then it gets posted by KOB, but they just credit the AP without crediting the original journalist? Is that normal?
Not normal. I'm sure but did not look to verify, that AP is the source of the original copy.
The Slatereport one looks to be the original judging by the time that this post was created and the time that The AP put out their article.
I just think that news organizations really need to start crediting the journalists that wrote the story. Especially with generative AI on the rise.

Imagine if they were on duty
They were off duty but working at a local business at 2 a.m. I assume they had second jobs as bartenders? Anyway - if they opened fire on these men there might be a good reason why. We'd have to have more details to know and see the video for ourselves.
Or security. Lots of cops moonlight as security guards.
Ah, yes. The same cops who are so scared to death for their safety that they'll shoot your dog and flash bang your baby just to be sure. What do they do when they get off work from their terrifying, stressful job? Go work another job where they get to use the risk of violence as a justifiable excuse to beat or shoot bystanders.
