GRUNDY COUNTY, Iowa (KCCI) — The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation is investigating a deadly police shooting in Grundy County.
Authorities say a man wanted out of Waterloo led them on a chase last night before his vehicle was disabled and came to a stop on the side of the road.
“The subject exited his vehicle, produced a firearm, and fired at officers,” according to a news release. “Deputies with the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office and a Trooper with the Iowa State Patrol returned fire, striking the subject.”
According to the Iowa DCI, “officers performed lifesaving measures on the subject at the scene” before he was transported to a Waterloo hospital where he was pronounced dead. He has not yet been publicly identified.
No law enforcement officials were hurt. The officers involved are on critical incident leave.
