Omaha police collecting unwanted or illegal guns and ammunition

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Omaha Police Department is holding its third Gun Amnesty Day to collect unwanted or illegal guns and ammunition.

The latest event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday in south Omaha. Police guns may be dropped off with no questions asked, but police will document all firearms. If a gun is linked to a crime or reported stolen, police will investigate.

Police have held similar collections in the past to keep guns off Omaha streets. Last month, 47 firearms and 900 pounds of ammunition were turned in.
