(Des Moines) Des Moines Police are investigating a shooting that happened Sunday night, injuring one person. The shooting occurred on the Southwest Ninth Street River Bridge; one individual has been detained in connection with the shooting. Authorities said there is no ongoing threat to the neighborhood. The investigation is ongoing, and more information will be released.
Meanwhile, Des Moines police have recovered 320 guns this year. This includes seven “ghost guns” that are untraceable to police due to the lack of serial numbers. Des Moines Police Chief emphasized the importance of removing these dangerous firearms from the streets to save lives. While ghost guns are legal in Iowa, they make it a challenge to track their origins. The department’s efforts to seize illegal firearms aim to prevent felons and minors from possessing guns without permits.
