A Hawk Alert shared at 1:14 a.m. on Sunday alerted currently enrolled students at the University of Iowa of reported shots fired on the Pedestrian Mall. 

“After further investigation police determined a fight involving several people occurred in the alley by the Fieldhouse bar,” said a press release shared by the Iowa City Police Department. “One person fired several shots from a handgun into the crowd. A twenty-four-year-old female and a seventeen-year-old male were struck by the gunfire. They are believed to have non-life-threatening injuries. No arrests have been made in connection to this incident, which remains under investigation.”

Police are asking for the community’s assistance in identifying the people in a video from outside of the Fieldhouse bar, the press release said.

This incident is being actively investigated by the Iowa City Police Department because it occurred in their jurisdiction, Assistant Director of Media Relations Haley Bruce told The Daily Iowan in an email.
