The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) has launched an investigation after two Bettendorf Police officers were involved in a shooting with a man in Bettendorf early Wednesday morning.

A news release from the City of Bettendorf says officers responded to a call about a domestic disturbance involving a knife in the 2600 block of Cypress Drive on Wednesday, May 21, at about 1:30 a.m. Officers found a 23-year-old man with a firearm when they arrived, and gunfire was exchanged. Officers rendered first aid and called for emergency medical services for the man. The man was taken to the hospital to receive medical treatment for his injuries and his condition is unknown at this time. The officers were treated at the hospital and released.

“While we are very early on in the investigation, we know that two police officers were shot, as was the man armed with a firearm,” said Chief Doug Scott, Bettendorf Police Department. “This was an isolated incident. There is no threat to the public. Per our policy, our officers involved are being put on critical incident leave. Our officers put themselves in harm’s way to keep our community safe, and they make great sacrifices to do this for us.”

DCI is on the scene and has been requested to investigate and provide the results to the Scott County Attorney’s Office for review.
