Current
In 2007 there was an increase in crime and gang-related shootings in Omaha. Compared to other major cities, it is still very safe.
The single event with the most fatalities in recent years was due to a lone gunman. On December 5, 2007, a young man with a history of drug abuse and social problems shot at random in Westroads Mall. He wounded six people, killed eight, and killed himself there.

Famous quotes containing the word current:
“If the current is right, one can drift to success.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“Through this broad street, restless ever,
Ebbs and flows a human tide,
Wave on wave a living river;
Wealth and fashion side by side;
Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
