Omaha, Nebraska -

Tyree Bell had a criminal history that spanned 15 years.

It began in 1997 with a disturbing the peace arrest, gradually escalating to more serious offenses like theft and assault.

He was sentenced to a year in prison in 2010 for being a felon in possession of a deadly weapon. A year later, he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend.

Omaha police say Bell, 31, was suicidal and mentally ill when they confronted him Tuesday during a domestic disturbance. Bell used his 3-year-old son as a shield and later pointed two weapons at officers.

Four officers fired on Bell, who died at Creighton University Medical Center.

Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said Wednesday one of Bell's weapons turned out to be a pellet gun and that the other was unloaded. Schmaderer said police couldn't know that until after Bell had been shot.

“We still have to treat that weapon as being loaded,” Schmaderer said.

A camera on a police cruiser recorded the confrontation.

Police released an image from that video showing Bell holding his son under his left arm and holding a shotgun in the other. The image was recorded at 6:15 a.m., about five minutes before Bell was shot.

Schmaderer said officers “were in peril, as they could take no action for fear of harming the 3-year-old.”

About 6:20 a.m., Bell became more agitated, Schmaderer said.

He went back into the house, put his son down inside and reappeared on the front porch, this time pointing two guns at police, the chief said. That's when officers fired “numerous” times at Bell, he said.

Bell died of multiple gunshot wounds shortly after he arrived at the hospital. His son was unharmed, having toddled out of the house after the shooting and been scooped up by an officer.

Bell at no time tried to surrender, Schmaderer said. Alcohol and drugs may have compounded his suicidal behavior, he said.

The standoff began at 4:11 a.m. with Bell holed up in the house with his girlfriend and twin 3-year-olds.

waiting for the do godders to argue their point - The Police special branch should have "negotiated more" they were "trigger happy" they should have use "none leathal methods" lololol and completly ignore the fact that anytime you point a load gun at another person that has also a loaded gun (never mind the fact these were police officers) you are running risk that you get shot.

Nah, nobody will care dude.... This guy was black. Plus he used a kid as a human shield.

But mostly no one will care because he's black.

Fat Albert Sharpon will argue that the shooter and the boy were only spending quality father and son time together when a rogue racist cop cut him down without warning.

Dont say that ...

Here i Ireland we had a retard (he was actually mentaly challenged to some extend) barricade himself in a house, long story short irish ermergency response unit which was armed with FUCKING UZI's!!!! back then are called in.
They negotiate with him for like a few days, than he comes out charging out of the house, they actually filmed him running at them aiming his shotgun at one of the officers - course they shot him dead *which is a miracle considering they were using UZI's lol.

THEY STILL ARGUE ABOUT THIS CASE AND IF HE SHOULD HAVE DIED, DID THE ENTRY MAN/ TRIGGER MAN DO THE RIGHT THING ETC.

never mind the fact that for the officer who shot it was carreer over!!

That highlighted text is grounds enough for the wasting that guy...mentally challenged or not. People these days watch too many movies and drama/suspense TV shows to think that some "hot shot" detective/negotiator will walk up to the perpetrator, place his weapon on the ground...and convince the perp to place his weapon by passionately speaking to him about how their lives are so much similar. ::) ::)
That shit does not happen in 99% of the situations out there.

No loss. The world needs people like this so police can bone up on their marksmanship in real life situations.


I'll bet 2 tubs of protein powder that kid will also be a criminal. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. And by apple, I mean neegil and by tree, I mean ghetto.
