HAWK ALERT Shooting with 2 victims in the area of Gilbert/Court st. suspect black female with dreads wearing blue.The Iowa City Police Department sent out a subsequent press release about the shooting:
On September 29th at 1:55 a.m., the Iowa City Police Department received a report of shots being fired near the intersection of East Court and South Gilbert. Upon arrival, officers located a male victim suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. That victim was transported to the University of Iowa Hospitals where he received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
A short time later, a second person with a gunshot wound was discovered approximately one block away from the original location. It appears that both shootings occurred at the same location listed above. The second male victim also was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.I haven't seen anything yet that indicates if the victims were familiar with the shooter or if this was a random attack. To reiterate: The suspect is a black female with dreads. She was wearing blue last night.
People are encouraged to contact the Iowa City Area Crimestoppers at 319-358-8477 with any information about this crime. They are offering a reward of up to $1000 for information that leads to the arrest of the suspect.
