Des Moines nightclub shooting leaves 3 dead, 3 others injured
Des Moines IA Sept 27 2021 Three people were killed and three others injured in a shooting outside a Des Moines bar early Sunday morning, police said.
Des Moines Police said the shooting followed a dispute between two people inside the La Familia Sports Pub and Lounge, 22855 Pacific Hwy S., just before 2 a.m.
People involved in the dispute left the bar, got into separate vehicles and began shooting into the crowd in the parking lot as they fled, police said.
At least one victim appears to have gone to the Red Lion Inn & Suites immediately north of the bar. Keith Rogers, staying at the Red Lion, said he saw blood and medical supplies in the lobby, and also found blood droplets on his family’s Jeep Cherokee parked in the parking lot.
“We also saw loved ones show up, of the victims, and saw them find out what happened and crying,” he said.
Harborview Medical Center received multiple victims from the shooting. One was listed in critical condition, spokesperson Susan Gregg said Sunday morning.
Des Moines Police are investigating the shooting and asks anyone with information that could help identify the suspects to call 206-878-3301.
