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:
“I have come to believe ... that the stage may do more than teach, that much of our current moral instruction will not endure the test of being cast into a lifelike mold, and when presented in dramatic form will reveal itself as platitudinous and effete. That which may have sounded like righteous teaching when it was remote and wordy will be challenged afresh when it is obliged to simulate life itself.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“Natural Man, in our current version, is a disgruntled adolescent.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“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)
