Casey's Clerk Murdered In Ames - Des Moines News Story - KCCI Des Moines
Updated story confirms this. Thankfully no one was reported injured in the second shooting. Officers, please blow this guy away.
Why don't we have a description of this gunman? Height? Weight? Race? Clothing?
Description: male with gun being followed by lots of cops. He should stand out.
I have got my scanner going. I'll post any new details.
Maybe because the cops are following the guy and know where he is, they don't feel the need to release preliminary descriptions.Quote:

Sounds like the crime scene is near the ethanol plant on Old Highway 30 near Nevada. There is a report of a fire there as well.
sounds like he shot himself now
Sounds like he stole a police car and killed himself.Quote:

Hunt says police later spotted the suspect riding a bicycle on old Lincoln Highway near Nevada. When a law officer tried to stop the suspect, a gun battle broke out in front of the ethanol plant. The suspect then got away in the officer's squad car. The Iowa State Patrol and other law officers began chasing the suspect at high speeds eastbound on Highway 30 east of Nevada.
That's incredibly true - down to the bicycle.Quote:

Don't they have to notify next of kin or whatever it's called before identities are released?Quote:

I'd think so?Quote:

Wouldn't it make more sense for police vehicles to all have those starters like Maximas/Altimas have now, where you have to have the key in your pocket and then push a button before the car starts?
