The Iowa Dept. of Public Safety, Sunday evening, released more information concerning an Officer-Involved shooting Friday evening in West Des Moines. Authorities say at around 6:30 p.m., officers from the Clive Police Department and the West Des Moines Police Department arrived at 4300 Woodland Avenue in West Des Moines, for the purpose of arresting 45-year-old Scott Heisler for violation of a No Contact Order. Each officer was outfitted with an operational body camera.

Officers made contact with Heisler at the front door of his home and informed him he was being arrested. Heisler, who was standing in the doorway, said that prior to going with police, he was going to retrieve his phone from inside his home. Heisler walked away from the officers, who followed Heisler up a set a stairs. Inside the home, Heisler grabbed a gun and threatened the officers. The officers’ attempts to de-escalate the situation were not successful.

West Des Moines Police Department Sergeant Kraig Kincaid fired one round from his service weapon, striking Heisler. Kincaid is a 16-year-veteran of the department.

All officers on scene attempted lifesaving measures and requested advanced medical assistance. Heisler was transported by ambulance to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Per departmental policy, Sergeant Kincaid has been placed on paid administrative leave.

The DCI received assistance in conducting the investigation, from the Des Moines Police Department’s Crime Scene Unit.
