On September 10th, 2014, at 12:32 p.m. Dubuque Police responded to several reports of a man injured in the 1600 block of White Street. Upon arrival, officers located the man and verified he had been shot in the leg.
He was transported to Mercy Hospital for treatment and his injury is not life-threatening. Officers and investigators on scene believe an altercation developed somewhere inside 1628 White Street and culminated with the man being shot. He then fled the building and out into the street, seeking assistance while the other subjects involved fled the scene. The investigation is still in the preliminary stages, but the general public is not believed to be in any danger pertaining specifically to this incident. It is further believed the subjects involved had some degree of prior acquaintance with one another and this was not a random act of violence. Additional information, including the identity of the man shot, will be released when available and authorized.
