An illegal alien who shot and seriously wounded a 61-year-old civilian and injured four police officers in Omaha previously had a violent record, the Department of Homeland Security revealed. Officials said Salvadoran national Juan Ayala-Ramos, 28, who was previously identified as Juan Melgar-Ayala, injured four officers at a QuikTrip in Omaha, Nebraska, on Wednesday before being killed at the scene by responding officers. Ayala-Ramos was reportedly on the run after an earlier shooting at a neighborhood grocery store that left 61-year-old Michael Kasper seriously injured.
