The Walgreens customer who shot and killed a would-be-robber Monday night has been cited for carrying a concealed weapon, a misdemeanor.

Harry J. McCullough III, 32, had a permit to carry a loaded handgun in plain view — typically in a holster — but did not have a concealed weapons permit, said Omaha Police Officer Jacob Bettin.

McCullough pulled his handgun from the waistband of his pants when he shot and killed a would-be-robber with a shotgun at the Walgreens in Benson Monday night, Bettin said.

McCullough has not been arrested in connection with the death of the robbery suspect. Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine is reviewing reports on the shooting and will determine whether charges are warranted.

Police have not released information about the robbery suspect who died.

Bettin said two masked men had entered the Walgreens at 6101 Northwest Radial shortly before 9 p.m.
