Just days ago, a shooting was reported near North Federal and 9th Street NW. Neighbors said they heard arguing and yelling and a single shot followed by multiple shots. A woman who police do not want named was shot in the arm and was later taken to Iowa City for treatment. No further details have been released in that incident.
Well here you go people – downtown designed to keep citzens drunk and stupid with their bars, there is also a new bar being built. So no surprise with this shooting.
Who said anything about bars being involved or causing this? I’m sure it was some second shifters that had just gotten off from work and we’re arguing which statue was better. It was a difference of opinion.
Were…..
2nd shifters, some go home and some go to bars. No one is blaming – it’s the reality when people drink some get stupid. Add more bars and you get more drunks.
its very unlikely the shooter here has ever worked a day in his life. Does not have too, your tax dollars give him everything he needs
What! No jab at the Cultural Crescent?
That’s what they do in Bookmeyers Cultural Crescent. Fight, do drugs and shoot people. Why would we want to put anymore money in this slum area?
They also pee on trees in Central Park. “They” meaning the drunks after 1 AM.
Damn, they are killing the trees too.
The answer is obvious…….. MORE GUNS! Had others been armed this would have been prevented. Go Trump. Guns for everyone.
Obviously the fault of the HPI, better to shut it down and avoid more such happenings in the future.
You’re not fooling anyone Petey with the name change. You hate North Iowa, so why are you on a site that’s named “North Iowa”. Now go away and stop embarassing your poor mother.
And yet…we still love our Mason City!!
Wait until Hillarys Mooslim refuge (isis) move in. Hey! Just out ! The Old Hag just transferred 1.8 BILLION DOLLARS from the Clinton Foundation to the International bank of Quatar – Think the old gal won’t be on a fast jet to international waters when she loses the election – she must be having doubts and protecting her corrupt ass/assets. Too funny you pukie demorats – ABANDON SHIP – See AlexJones Infro Wars for full story. PS this bank also funds ISIS. Nice huh?
looks as though the “trouble-makers” are spreading all over town…. not just Eleven – sore justification for closing them down. And, which block was this last shooting? tenth and federal or 1st and federal at the plaza? Between the Globe, KIMT and now you, we have no idea where this “10 block” is….. ?
You are really dense. The addresses are in the 10’s as opposed to the 100’s or 300’s or 1100’s. So it happened in the first block south of State Street on Federal Avenue. Duh.
It’s right outside the north doors at the Southbridge Mall.
So any info if the victim was at Lorados, Quarry, or HPI before getting shot?
this is not the norm in Mason City……..
Looks like this is becoming the norm, and in the cultural crescent too.
