Officials in Muscatine are investigating a shots-fired incident that occurred Wednesday afternoon.
The Muscatine County Drug Task Force began the process of serving a search warrant at approximately 3:30pm when the subjects of the investigation fled the scene in a vehicle. A high-speed pursuit ensued, and the vehicle was reportedly involved in a traffic collision at the intersection of Highway 61 and Cedar Street around 3:40 pm.
Several gunshots were reportedly fired at the scene; the suspects then fled on foot. Investigators have not confirmed how many shots were fired, who fired the shots, or if anyone was hit. One witness told KCRG TV that a family member involved in the crash was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The area of the crash was closed for several hours as evidence was gathered.
No arrests have been confirmed; investigation into the incident continues.
