Police in Council Bluffs, late Thursday afternoon released more information with regard to an Officer involved shooting, but the names of those involved were being withheld until all parties can be formally interviewed. The person who was shot by a CBPD Officer remains hospitalized in stable condition, with non-life threatening injuries.

As we reported earlier, Council Bluffs Police and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI), were conducting a joint investigation into an officer-involved shooting that occurred at around 3-a.m. Thursday, in the parking lot of a convenience store at 611 East Broadway.

A preliminary investigation indicates that a Council Bluffs police officer, while responding to a call of suspicious vehicle on the business lot, discharged his firearm while attempting to take the driver  of the car into custody.

After being shot, the driver of the car sped off the lot and crashed, resulting in the car flipping onto its roof.  The driver then fled the wrecked vehicle on foot and was apprehended after a short foot chase. The injured driver was transported by ambulance to a metro area hospital for treatment.
