How they died
Deadly force
Omaha Police Department responded to a 911 domestic disturbance call around 2am which indicated that the Tyree Bell had a shotgun. Bell's girlfriend left the house when police arrived but two children, Bell's son and daughter were still inside. Bell's daughter later was freed, but Bell allegedly used 3-year-old son as a shield multiple times when pointing shotgun at officers. Bell threatened officers and made suicidal statements. Around 6:30 a.m. Tyree Bell put his son back in the house and came back out with shotgun and rifle, and was shot multiple times by four officers. Suspect had criminal history and mental issues. One rifle was later found to be a pellet gun, and the shotgun was found to have been unloaded.
