"Almost like 14 shots, outside. It sounded real close. Almost sounded like it was in my house,” one concerned neighbor said.Nine shootings in 48 hours across north and south Omaha leave residents on edge.“We’ve got to clean up these streets, it’s not safe anymore,” another neighbor said.KETV Newswatch 7 spoke with a woman who heard gunshots Saturday outside her home near 38th and Ames streets. A block away, near 37th and Ames streets, another shooting just two hours before that sent a 20-year-old to the hospital with gunshot wounds to her leg.Omaha police said neighbors shouldn't worry.“We’ve had instances in the past where there's maybe been a surge in violent crime, so we're ready to handle situations like this,” Officer Michael Pecha said.OPD said while this rash of violence catches your attention, they said it's not random and is sporadic.“We just want to reassure people that when you look at the bigger picture and you look long term, one weekend may not represent the totality of the crime in the city,” Pecha said.Regardless, those touched by this weekend's violence are worried.KETV Newswatch 7 spoke with Howard McDavid, who said he had just stopped at a gas station near 30th Street and Martin Avenue to fill up when someone drove by and shot up his car Saturday night.He wasn't hurt, but another man walking across the street was. He got caught in the crossfire, police said.“Be safe because these bullets flying and they ain't got nobody's name on it,” a neighbor said.If you have information on any of these shootings, call Crimestoppers at 402-444-STOP.For more information on the shootings, click here: http://www.ketv.com/article/7-people-injured-in-6-saturday-shootings/12463623
