Sunday morning’s tragedy followed a targeted shooting at an off-duty officer’s home around 11.30pm Friday night.
Police say multiple shot’s were fired at the peace officer’s house, garage and take-home squad car in the ‘targeted’ attack.
No injuries were reported in the incident, which Cedar Rapids Chief of Police Wayne Jerman has called an ‘act of intimidation and violence.’
‘Evidence points to this being a targeted shooting toward a sworn peace officer. It was deliberate. It was an act of intimidation and violence and we will not tolerate it. We pursue all shots-fired incidents as serious, senseless actions and as such, receive our complete attention through the full legal process.’ Jerman told KWWL. ‘This is the time for anyone with knowledge of this incident to come forward and help ensure this violence stops now.’
Both shootings remain under investigation. Police have not implied that they are connected.
