This past weekend, the Webster City Police Department responded to and is currently investigating an incident that sent one man to a Des Moines area hospital for non-life threatening gunshot wounds.

At approximately 6:49 p.m. last Saturday, the WCPD received a 911 call of a man who had discharged a weapon and was running around in the yard at 408 Grove St. in Webster City.

According to Shiloh Mork, WCPD chief, the local authorities arrived on the scene and located an adult male who was “suffering from two gunshot wounds.” Due to the ongoing investigation, the identity of the individual was not released.

Medical treatment was provided to the male until paramedics from the Van Diest Medical Center arrived on scene. The man was then transported to the Webster City-based medical facility, before being transferred by air ambulance to an undisclosed area hospital in Des Moines.

Mork stated that the initial investigation concluded that there is no harm to the general public and that “this was an isolated incident.”

The WCPD is asking residents who have information regarding the matter to contact the department at 515-832-9166.
