A woman shot by Des Moines police in the early morning hours of July 5 has died from her injuries.
She is identified as Tiffany Potter, 29, of Des Moines.
A statement from Des Moines police sergeant Paul Parizek says Potter was armed with a handgun as she ran from officers at around 2 a.m., and fired at least one round as she fled.
Three Des Moines patrol officers were present at the scene on the city’s east side, and one officer fired his handgun.
The three officers involved are senior police officer Brian Buck, a seven-year veteran of the force; senior police officer Brandon Holtan, who has been with Des Moines police five years; and senior police officer Brady Pratt, who was hired four years ago.
They are currently on paid administrative leave.
