Omaha police are trying to determine whether two officers acted properly when they shot and killed a man early Sunday.

Police Lt. Darci Tierney says gunshots were reported in northeast Omaha around 2:15 a.m. Sunday.

Officers who were investigating the gunshots encountered 29-year-old Jermaine Lucas. Tierney says Lucas was armed.

During the encounter, officers fired their weapons and Lucas was killed.

The Omaha World-Herald reports Lucas was on a two-day furlough from the Community Corrections Center of Lincoln when he was killed. Lucas was serving five to eight years for illegally possessing a gun.

The officers involved were Alvin Lugod and Joseph Koenig. Both are 28-years-old and joined the force in December 2008.

Lugod and Koenig are on administrative leave, and a grand jury will also review the shooting.
