(Radio Iowa) – A 37-year-old Des Moines policeman was shot in the shoulder by a fellow officer and a suspect was killed this morning after police were called to investigate a domestic situation.

According to a statement from Des Moines Police, it was just after 3:30 a.m. when officers responded to a call that a person was violating a no contact order. About 20 minutes later officers saw the suspect’s vehicle driving nearby, tried to stop it and the suspect fled. Shortly before 4 a.m. the suspect’s vehicle left a Des Moines street. A police spokesman says “seconds later” officers reported shots had been fired and the suspect was shot by officers and died at the scene.

Des Moines Police say the wounded officer, who’s been with the department for four years, is in stable condition.
