DES MOINES, Iowa – Police arrested six teenagers and charged each with murder in a shooting outside a high school Monday that left one teenager dead and two others in critical condition.

A 15-year-old boy was killed in what police said was a targeted drive-by shooting. Two teenage girls, one 16 and one 18, were shot and remain in critical condition.

The deceased victim was the intended target, the two girls were not, according to Sgt. Paul Parizek, spokesperson for the Des Moines Police Department. Parizek said the gunfire came from multiple shooters and multiple vehicles

5. I don't know about other places but buying a weapon here is just as easy as buying a loaf of bread.

7. Maybe what needs to happen is to start sueing

All of The states representatives for not passing safer gun laws.
Probably won’t go anywhere but bring it out to the open.

3. my mother went to that high school

she always talked glowingly about her days when she was a student there, in the gumdrop and lollipop days of the 1950s. She never really wanted to acknowledge how badly the area had deteriorated since then.

Sadly, I'm sure she's rolling over in her grave after this incident.

6. Hopefully they are tried as adults

And throw away the key, no rehabilitating someone who remotely considered that a valid idea.

9. They will be tried in adult court

Police identified the six teenagers each charged in adult court with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder: Octavio Lopez, 17; Nyang Chamdual, 14; Manuel Buezo, 16; Romero Perdomo, 16; Alex Perdomo, 15; and Henry Valladares-Amaya, 17.

"While this incident occurred outside of a school, it could have occurred in any one of our neighborhoods. The school is where the suspects found their target," Parizek said. "Within one hour of the incident, almost all of the suspects were in custody. Within several hours, all were."

Parizek said five residential search warrants and six vehicle search warrants were carried out within the city. Six firearms were recovered, he said.
