Oscar Gomez's 1 year-old son Leo was strapped in his car seat when a stray bullet broke through the window of their family's minivan. It happened at around lunchtime on Sunday just a few blocks from the Henry Doorly Zoo.

Gomez told 6 News: "We are lucky."

Gomez said he was on his way to church, driving on 13th Street near the Henry Doorly Zoo, when he suddenly heard a loud crash. He said: "It was a bullet. Somebody shot my van. I could see the little hole."

The bullet's path was dangerously close to Little Leo's car seat.

Omaha Police believe the shot was fired by the suspect who robbed the VP Racing gas station on 13th Street just before 11:30 Sunday morning. According to investigators, the robber fired a gun several times as he ran out of the store. One bullet hit a customer's SUV in the parking lot. Another bullet hit Oscar Gomez's van as he was driving down the street.

Gomez told 6 News: "I feel very good that my little boy is okay."

Witnesses report the suspect was a man wearing a light hoodie with a stocking cap. He was last seen driving away in a gray or green sedan.
