Five people were wounded in a mass shooting near the University of Iowa campus after a large brawl that broke out early Sunday, police confirmed — as they shared a photo of five “persons of interest” in the carnage.
“One victim is in critical condition and the other four victims are in stable condition,” Iowa City Public Safety said in a Facebook post Sunday afternoon.
The posting includes a picture of five young men, and cops are asking for the public’s help in finding and identifying them.
“Anyone with information on the people pictured here are asked to contact Detective Cade Burma at cburma@iowa-city.org or 319-356-5275.”
Police were responding to a fight at the Pedestrian Mall in Iowa City around 1:45 a.m. involving as many as 100 people when gunshots rang out.
Dramatic video of the melee shared on social media showed dozens of people crowded around a group of men throwing haymakers at each other.
The brawl took place in a popular bar area that is just one block from some parts of the Big Ten campus.
