No other details about the incident itself were released. The officers and deputies who fired their weapons have been placed on paid administrative leave, per protocol, pending the outcome of an investigation into the shooting by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation. Their names have not been released at this point. Law enforcement radio traffic recorded at the time of the incident indicated a suspect may be shooting at law enforcement as a dispatcher is heard saying, 'Deputy says male is actively shooting at her.' Within 20 minutes, an officer is heard saying, 'Suspect's down, 153.' Officials have not confirmed the content of the law enforcement radio traffic. The Dallas County Sheriff's Office says it is committed to transparency and will provide more details as they become available.
