DES MOINES, Iowa — New details have been released in the investigation into a shooting at a Des Moines post office that injured three people last week.
On the morning of November 5, over a dozen law enforcement agencies swarmed the Main Post Office at 1165 2nd Avenue in Des Moines following a report of an active shooter on the second floor of the building.
The Des Moines Police Department said that three officers were on scene within a minute of the first 911 call, but the alleged shooter, identified as 39-year-old Jennifer Pledger, had already left the building.
Two women, a 45-year-old and a 53-year-old, were self-transported to MercyOne Hospital next door, and an officer transported a 55-year-old man. The DMPD said that the two women were shot, while the man was injured during a fall while trying to flee. All three sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
