Reports: Two Police Officers Shot, Leading to Standoff in North Liberty

Units from virtually every law enforcement agency in Johnson County responded to the scene of an officer-involved shooting Sunday evening in North Liberty at the Holiday Mobile Home Court.

Authorities have not released all of the information about the incident, but this much is roughly know so far: two North Liberty police officers were responding to a call in the mobile court when they received non-fatal injuries, possibly as a result of an officer involved shooting.

From the Iowa City Press-Citizen report:

Johnson County Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek said.

“When officers arrived, almost immediately upon entering the situation there were gunshots exchanged,” Pulkrabek said.

Pulkrabek said he could not elaborate on who was involved in the shooting, North Liberty Mayor Tom Salm said he believes two officers were injured.

“I don’t have anything current; I just heard they are going to be OK,” Salm said about 9:30 p.m.

At roughly 6:00 p.m.officers from several different area law enforcement departments responded to provided backup where the shooting had been reported. This later resulted in a standoff that was resolved a few hours later.

From the KCRG report:

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said that two police officers were shot, leading to the standoff. The officers' injuries are not believed to be life threatening. The D.C.I. said that this is preliminary information and it could change as more details are gathered by law enforcement.

The standoff appeared to come to an end at about 8:30 p.m., although the circumstances are not known at this time.

I will update the story has more information become available.
