OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Officials are working to close a loophole after learning that an ordinance barring hunting in city parks largely didn’t apply to a man who used his bow to kill three deer on land near Lake Zorinsky in western Omaha.

Steven Greise of Plattsmouth faced seven charges, which were dropped as part of a plea deal, for hunting in the park last October. Interim city prosecutor Tom Mumgaard says the incident showed the ordinance wasn’t as clear as it should be.

Now the Omaha City Council is considering an ordinance that would explicitly state that hunting is illegal in the city’s parks. The Omaha World-Herald (http://bit.ly/1hUrq7X ) reports that the city also plans to install “no hunting” signs in the parks.

City Council members are expected to vote on the proposal Tuesday.
