DES MOINES – An Iowa man is charged with attempted murder after shooting a teen girl at the Iowa capitol
On Sunday, December 6, at approximately 2:55 p.m., the Iowa State Patrol, the Division of Criminal Investigation and the Des Moines Police Department were dispatched to a State Capitol Complex parking lot near the Lucas State Office Building on a report of shots fired.
A confrontation occurred between a gathering of people – reportedly participating in a rally to support Donald Trump – leading to a minor female victim (15 years of age) suffering a gunshot wound. Per the complaint and affidavit, 25-year-old Michael McKinney of St. Charles, Iowa, intentionally fired a handgun at a vehicle driving through the parking lot of the Lucas State Office Building which resulted in the victim suffering her injuries. The female victim was transported to a local hospital where she was treated for non-life threatening injuries. The complaint states, “Michael McKinney intentionally fired a handgun at J.H. while she was riding in a vehicle traveling through the parking lot of the Lucas State Office building. J.H. suffered a gunshot wound and was admitted to a hospital. When questioned McKinney admitted to being responsible for the shooting and turned over his firearm to law enforcement.”
McKinney was arrested Sunday evening and charged with Attempted Murder. He is currently in the Polk County Jail, held on bond set in the amount of $500,000.
maybe if those stupid brainwashed liberals and democrats would respect others political views it wouldn’t have a gunshot
Maybe if trumpets wouldn’t shoot people first and then ask questions we’d have fewer shootings. Maybe if trumpets weren’t so frightened they wouldn’t need to carry guns.
no rally, no shooting. plain and simple
maybe if those stupid brainwashed liberals and democrats would respect others political views it wouldn’t have a gunshot
Great theory. Now if you can keep all the burn loot murder protesters and antifa losers at home, we wouldn’t have burnt down cities.
More mis-direction from NIT. She was driving through a parking lot when he fired at her car. It had nothing to do with the Trump rally!
He didn’t say it had anything to do with the rally. He said it was NEAR the rally.
He said, “A confrontation occurred between a gathering of people – reportedly participating in a rally to support Donald Trump – leading to a minor female victim (15 years of age) suffering a gunshot wound. ”
That part that says,”gathering of people – reportedly participating in a rally” kind of does say it has to do with the rally.
Just the nit headline says it was the rally’s fault
It’s the truth from NIT, copy and paste News & Entertainment for Mason City, Clear Lake & the Entire North Iowa Region
Is it the rally’s fault or the shooter’s fault? You have a weird idea of what a headline says.
Just another “law abiding” citizen.
Going to a covid prison.
I think he drank a too much orange Kool Aid
How is this not a hate crime?
Lynch him, right? You have it all figured out from this vague little piece.
