Aug. 4--A national citizens patrol group has opened an Omaha chapter in response to an uptick in gun violence.
A recent visit by Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa was the second trip to Omaha this year by members of the group.
The visits were arranged by Greg James, a combat veteran who is a martial arts instructor in north Omaha.
"He showed us areas with gang problems," Sliwa said. "These are infamous gangs that exist all over the country."
When considering the shootings, other violence and graffiti, he said, "It's rather obvious Omaha has a problem of gang activity that must be dealt with."
