CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Police are looking into a report of shots being fired on Monday afternoon, with one potentially-related injury.
At around 1:52 p.m, the Cedar Rapids Police Department was sent to a report of gunshots in the 600 block of Ninth Avenue SW. Officers believe that someone shot at a parked vehicle with an adult male inside, hitting the vehicle and a nearby home. The shots were apparently fired from another vehicle.
