On Tuesday morning, the Omaha Police department destroyed the fireworks, guns and other explosives collected during an amnesty day earlier this month.
The City of Omaha is considering changes to its firework ordinance, shortening the number of days they can be purchased from 10 to five days.
And hundreds of pounds and tens of thousands of dollars worth of fireworks gone. #OPD via @OPDLtLeavitt pic.twitter.com/dwcS49DNng
