'I never expected I would touch my gun': Dad pulls CCW gun to protect family in mall shooting

OMAHA, Neb. (KETV) — A dad said the choice was easy to grab his concealed carry weapon and protect his family as gunfire erupted at Westroads Mall in Omaha Saturday.

"My daughter is getting baptized next weekend so I wanted to get a nice special outfit for her baptism,” Scott Tafoya said.


As Tafoya was trying on a suit in Von Maur Saturday, his wife and two daughters went upstairs to shop.
He noticed commotion and saw people running. One man made eye contact with him.
"I looked in his eyes and he yelled, ‘Shooter,'” Tafoya said.
He took off upstairs to find his family.
