Police in Council Bluffs late Thursday evening released additional details concerning a stand-off that occurred earlier in the day. Sgt. Chad Meyers said at 11:10-a.m., members of the Southern Iowa Fugitive Task Force were attempting to serve a felony arrest warrant on 39-year old Daniel E. Hannon, at 2126 6th Avenue. As members of the Task Force made initial contact with Hannon the residence, a single shot was fired by one of the Task Force members. Hannon then retreated back into the house at that address.

Due to the shot being fired, and Hannon’s arrest history, the Council Bluffs Police Department’s Emergency Services Team was activated, along with a team of Crisis/Hostage Negotiators . As the Negotiators were speaking with Hannon inside the home, he indicated that a female was inside with him and she would be coming out. The female then exited the home, uninjured.

At 12:15-p.m, Hannon exited out the front door and was taken into custody without further incident and transported to a local hospital, where he was treated for a wound to his upper right arm. The member of the Southern Iowa Fugative Task Force that fired the shot is a member of the U. S. Marshals Service assigned to the Southern District of Iowa. The Council Bluffs Police Department will be conducting the investigation into the shooting.
