In an update to our earlier reports, police in Council Bluffs say a man who was shot in the parking lot of a Council Bluffs casino early Monday morning, is refusing to cooperate with investigators, so they are closing the case without any arrests. The incident took place in the parking lot of the Ameristar Casino. Authorities say at around 2-a.m., officers were dispatched to the casino at 2200 River Road, with regard to a security officer who was out with a man, who had suffered a gunshot wound to his abdomen. Officers spoke with the unidentified victim, who told them he was walking in the parking lot, when a dark colored SUV drove up to him, and someone inside fired a shot at the man. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

At 11-a.m., Monday, detectives attempted to speak with the victim of the shooting for a second time. The unidentified 29-year-old male from Russellville, Mo., was still uncooperative, but told detectives the incident “was not a random shooting.” The man had arrived at the casino in the unknown suspect’s vehicle, and when the suspect returned to pick him up, the victim was shot once in the abdomen.
