WATERLOO, Iowa (Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier) — Police say one person has been shot outside a Waterloo bank. The Courier reports that the shooting happened Wednesday morning outside a U.S. Bank branch and left one person hospitalized with serious injuries. Police tell the newspaper they are investigating the shooting as a possible robbery. Waterloo police did not immediately return a message left Wednesday seeking more information.

The shooting is reminiscent of a shooting outside a Lu Verne bank in northern Iowa in December that left a bank employee dead. Valentino Williams, of Coralville, was sentenced to life in prison last month in that shooting that killed 43-year-old Jessica Weisharr, of Algona.
