Two Des Moines police officers were hospitalized after being shot during a traffic stop attempt early Monday morning. The incident occurred around 1:40 a.m. when officers pursued a driver who refused to stop; the suspect crashed and opened fire, prompting the officers to return fire, killing the suspect. Both officers are expected to survive their injuries, and the investigation is ongoing. In related news, Des Moines has seen a surge in violence, with a total of three shootings reported over the weekend, including two fatalities from a double homicide in the Court Avenue Entertainment District. The city has now recorded its 10th homicide of the year following the death of a 24-year-old man found with a gunshot wound after crashing his vehicle early Sunday morning. Authorities are continuing to investigate these incidents to determine the circumstances and any connections between them.
