LPD: shooting victims approach officers for aid

LINCOLN, Neb. -- The Lincoln Police Department is investigating a shooting that happened Tuesday night. 

LPD said the shooting happened near 22nd and Dudley St. Sept. 20 around 9:45 p.m.

It was reported that an officer was driving in the area when an 18-year-old ran up to the officer's cruiser and told them he was shot. 

While officers were providing the 18-year-old aid, they said a 19-year-old ran out from a nearby house and approached them. He was found to also have a gunshot wound. 

The LPD said both of the victims were taken to a local hospital. The 18-year-old was reported to have life-threatening injuries and the 19-year-old was said to have non-life threatening injuries. 

Authorities reported that officers secured the area and began to look for witnesses.

According to the LPD, the interviews led investigators to get a search warrant written for the house. The warrant was severed by the LPD SWAT Team. 

The LPD said the suspect, a 19-year-old Lincoln man, was known to both victims. Officers said they are actively searching for him, but he has not been found yet. 

This is an active investigation.
