A man dressed as a pirate was shot and critically wounded by an Omaha police officer Thursday after he refused to drop his sword.
Jonathan Martis, 38, was listed in stable condition at Creighton University Medical Center Thursday night. Police said he was expected to survive.
The bizarre incident unfolded when officers went to Martis' residence at 3312 X St. He had called 911 at 6:20 p.m. to report a disturbance.
Officers commanded Martis to drop the sword, but he refused and advanced on them, said Officer Michael Pecha, a police spokesman.
An officer fired a Taser that appeared to have no effect on Martis. The costumed man continued to advance and was shot by an officer, Pecha said. He was struck in the torso.
Martis had told witnesses that he was going to harm the responding officers, Pecha said.
