An Iowa City man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting someone in the legs.
Police say the incident occurred the morning of June 9th at the Western Hills Mobile Estates Park on 2nd Street in Coralville at around 9:30. 23-year-old Mason Edwards of Carriage Hill confronted the victim in regards to a previous incident and was allegedly concealing a firearm at the time.
The victim was in another room, and Edwards was blocked from entering the room by another individual on the scene. Edwards then reportedly displayed his firearm, reached around the other individual, and intentionally shot at the victim, who was hit in both legs.
A warrant for Edwards’ arrest was issued on June 10th; he’s been charged with Attempted Murder, Going Armed with Intent, and Carrying Weapons. If convicted on all counts, he could be sentenced to up to 32 years in prison.
