MASON CITY – The Mason City Police Department is investigating two weekend shooting incidents.
The first shooting incident occurred in the 10 block of 3rd Street NW at approximately 3:10 a.m. on Saturday, September 12, 2020, and was reported on 911. In this incident, a male approached three people in the alley prior to the shooting. Shots were fired by the male as the other fled. No one was injured and police say they have not found any property damage as a result of the shooting.
The second shooting occurred on 3:59 p.m. on Saturday, September 12, 2020, in the 900-1000 block of North Pennsylvania Avenue. In this incident, two vehicles were traveling north on Pennsylvania and exchanging gunfire. Several residents in the area reported seeing the incident, although neither party has yet contacted police. No one was injured and again, no property has been reported as damaged.
Officers did recover evidence from both scenes. At this time, police say they do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the community in either incident. Both incidents remain under investigation.
Anyone with information about either shooting as asked to call the Mason City Police Department at 641-421-3636, and ask for Lt. Rich Jensen, Criminal Investigations.
Banging in River City ain’t going away. And Chuckie town went down the tubes a long time ago. Your new jails will prove to be a fail in 60 months. Too small. Gunfire on a weekly basis will increase the odds of innocents being shot. Cities like Chicago are savage. And what you learn growing up is with you always. There’s no money to beef up the police to combat it. And what goes around comes around.
You can thank mason city council for this problem !
You peeps are jerks..GROW UP..DAMN..WE ALL ARE HUMAN BEINGS!! WHITES ARE NO BETTER THEN ANYONE ELSE…GOD WILL GET YOU IN THE END…SOON! Hopefully!!
They aren’t chimps. Jesus dude. Chimps possess the ability to learn and grow. Nope. Dont ever disparage chimps again this way. What we are dealing with here is a classic liberal section 8’er situation. See they flee their crime torn shit holes for communities like ours, the government pays for their rent and everything else and they bring their violence, ignorance and stupidity with them to destroy the very place that was meant to be an opportunity for them to evolve and grow as human beings. You see. . . Black males are a lower life form than a chimpanzee.
Mcpd think’s there is no on going threat to the community! How? Do they have to turn away to laugh when they say these thing’s? This is monthly. This isnt uncommon. Do they think bullets vaporize when they miss the intended target? Cuz they keep flying. Anyone anywhere could get hit with a stray round. Random people get threatened by gunmen in this town with odd regularity. We only know about the reported incidents, do you honestly think we know about every incident? Maybe mcpd should just get over it and put as much focus as they can on section 8ers and Chicago and Detroit transplants. It’s cute to virtue signal and go sjw in comment sections but it’s time for honesty. Honestly we know its black males selling the heroin, meth and cocaine in mason city. We know its black males doing the shooting in mason city. We all know it. 13/50. The threat is perpetual. It’s always ongoing and it’s very real. Anyone could be caught in the middle or hit by strat bullets. Anyones child or pet or grandmother could be gone in an instant due to what mcpd says is not an ongoing threat. We aren’t stupid. You cant pacify and placate us with moronic carbon copy responses you trot out for every single violent incident in mason city. The simple fact is that we all know where to start looking when these incidents happen. If we could go ahead and stop calling everyone a racist maybe the police could feel confident in doing their work efficiently without being labeled nazis? The community is at risk and the police could help if it werent for social pressure in the current climate and potentially losing everything they own personally for doing their JOB. Their job is being obstructed by social justice and that’s wrong. I would like to be able to shop in Mason or work in mason without the constant knowledge that anytime anywhere a gunshot could erupt over some dumb petty drama between bottom feeding skids. Instead I choose to live in iowa but commute to minnesota where I don’t read these stories weekly. Instead my money goes to another state, all because of the pitfalls and undesirables concentrated into one rotten little community. Maybe instead of building hotels and event centers we could have built vocational centers and youth centers, started out reach programs and done our best to assimilate the youth of the African american community to life in a society, not a ghetto.
The article didn’t mention any color/race. So when I wrote thug, this is what I was talking about.
thug
/THəɡ/
noun
1.
a violent person, especially a criminal:,
Obviously the color/race card is in your mind.
When you guys say Thugs or Chimps, what do you really mean? Do you mean Black people? Because the only thing anyone comments on is when it involves an African American. So after you put on your MAGA hat, chug your Mountain Dew Code Red, and screw your cousin or beat your wife; try reading a book instead of burning them…..
Anyone Interested……?
I am watching Death Wish as I read this…… Interesting….
There is an ongoing threat. Every time these thugs shoot at each other there’s a possibility that a stray bullet will hit someone that’s not involved. With all the gunfire in this town, I’m surprised that no-one has been hit.
