New Omaha city council candidate alleges ‘political terrorism’ as yard set ablaze overnight

Tim Carter officially filed his candidacy for Omaha’s City Council’s District 7 seat in Northwest Omaha on Friday.

Now, he says his home was the target of “political terrorism” early Sunday morning.

Carter says he and his wife were winding down to bed after watching “Severance” when they heard tires screech and a loud explosion just before 12:30 a.m. on Sunday.

He says when they went outside to check, they discovered plants on fire. Carter says he went to install the hose and extinguish the flames as they called for emergency crews.

“It’s unnerving,” he said. “I mean, that was right outside of my children’s window.”

He said the fire crew that responded told them the fire appeared to be set intentionally.
