Posted by Mary on 7/27/2007, 6:14 pm, in reply to "Re: Local News" Officers said Godwin Bange, 23, was locked in his Chrysler Sebring after he and a female were friend were driving around and met up with some of her acquaintances. "The suspects produced a weapon, took the victim's wallet, and forced the victim into the trunk, continued to drive the victim throughout the city, and at some point, they ended up here in the area of 42nd and Erskine," said Omaha police Sgt. Teresa Negron. Gracie Bush said Bange showed up on her door at about 8:30 a.m. Friday, soaking wet and asking for help. She said he seemed disoriented. She said she called police, and officers took Bange around the neighborhood to look for the car. "The car was in the alley," Bush said. "He could identify what color car it was and police went and checked it out." A second neighbor, Dana Frazier, said she also called police after her son spotted the car in the heavily wooded area behind their home at about 8:30 a.m. She said she regrets that she did not call police in the middle of the night when her dog, Precious, was apparently also victimized. ------------------------------------ Omaha Police are investigating two shootings that both sent victims to the hospital in critical condition. One happened at 1:45 Thursday morning and the other happened at 3:15. The first happened at 40th Avenue and Bedford. Investigators have released little information. The second happened at 31st and Parker. A man was injured in a drive-by shooting. The victim tells police that he was walking along the street when a car pulled up and someone inside shot him. It does not appear that the two shootings were related ---------------------------------
