The Omaha gang unit police officer who had given birth to her first child only months earlier was killed Wednesday in a shootout while attempting to bring in a wanted felon.

Kerrie Orozco, 29, was shot while trying to apprehend 26-year-old Marcus D. Wheeler, who was being served a warrant by the police department's Fugitive Task Force at 1 p.m., according to City of Omaha and police department officials.

Wheeler, wanted to connection with a shooting, reportedly fled on foot from a Vane St. home in north Omaha. He cut through a yard while firing at his pursuers. Three cops, including Orozco, eventually caught up with Wheeler and opened fire, the Omaha World-Herald reported.

That's when Orozco was shot.

The fugitive continued to flee and was wounded in a yard three houses away, police said. He was found with a high capacity magazine.

the baby is still alive, no?

From the looks of it yes. The baby was born a few months earlier.

The slimy woodpecker who took her life the day she was to see her premature infant released from the hospital.

Insert for clarity: Poor motherless baby.

Officers should be in pairs just in case they need backup. She left behind a beautiful family. I feel sorry for their loss.

Black criminal shoots white cop. No outrage no justice dept. When a white cop kills a black criminal we burn down cities. Things are upside down

She was not alone, but with her task group as the suspect was known to be a violent criminal and in possession of multiple firearms.

Definately a sad day here for her family and the Omaha community. First officer killed in the line of duty in over 10 years.

Wonder if Omaha will be burning this weekend.

Of course. Not like cops kill black men and plant evidence or anything.

Not like cops unlawfully arrest black men and then kill them on the way to the station.

Not like cops kill black men and say, my bad, I thought it was a taser.

Not like cops kick some dude in his jaw so hard he breaks it and is knocked unconscious when he was complying and doing exactly what he was supposed to do. Not to mention, this cop KNEW he was being filmed and still did it. Or the fact that it took TWO juries to convict him of any wrong doing even though the video clearly shows excessive force.

I'm really sorry that when a black person kills a white person, the only satisfaction you'll get is the perp goes to jail for a long time. I'm sorry that you'll never have the joy of the city telling you and your loved ones that your child is dead because a cop shot him before he had time to react and it's your fault. Or you'll never know the luxury of having a cop grill you for 94 minutes because they shot your fiance in Wall-Mart and were desperate to find something to pin on him. Or seeing a video of someone you care for being killed by the cops and it's STILL not enough for a conviction.

You really have my sympathies. It's so hard to live in a system that works in your favor. I mean, it must suck you have to deal with the fact that when something like this happens, the person gets locked up. No riots, no looting. Just justice. Plain and simple. Maybe you should take to the streets. Make some signs, do some protesting? Say things like, we want white men and women to be killed by cops and have the liberty to riot and loot too! Make a catchphrase. I know! Instead of No Justice, N peace, Hands up Don't Shoot, or I Can't Breathe, try Screw Justice, Free Shyt, or Please Shoot, so I can Loot, or I Can Breathe but please choke me to death so my boys can burn this M********* down?
