OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — On Monday night, four teens from Gretna lost their lives and another ended up in critical condition after a wreck on 180th and Platteview Road. As people in Gretna mourned, surrounding communities flooded social media platforms with shows of support. Today, people are continuing the trend...by wearing it on their sleeves.
Around Omaha, and probably further as the day goes on, people are wearing green for Gretna and posting images on social media platforms with #GoGreen4Gretna. Others are showing support with #GretnaStrong as well.
