Police investigate shooting

A person was reportedly shot in Fort Dodge Thursday night.

Reports of gunfire in the area of Seventh Avenue North and Ninth Street were received by 911 dispatchers at about 10 p.m.

Law enforcement officers quickly converged in the 700 block of Seventh Avenue North and were joined by firefighters and paramedics.

Police officers cordoned off the front of an apartment building and the driveway leading to the rear of it with crime scene tape. That section of the street was closed to traffic.

Officers were still on the scene more than an hour later.

Fort Dodge police, Webster County sheriff’s deputies and the Fort Dodge Fire Department responded.
