(Creston, IA) -- A southern Iowa man is charged with attempted murder, after police say he shot another man multiple times. Creston Police Department officers were sent to the 800 block of North Lincoln Street after reports of gunshots. While officers were en route, they were notified of an adult male at the Greater Regional Health Center with multiple gunshot wounds. He was treated in Creston, then airlifted to a Des Moines area hospital and is expected to recover.
The Greater Regional Health Center and other local businesses were placed in a brief lockdown while officers secured the area. The lockdown has since been lifted.
Creston police officers and Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation agents later arrested 22-year-old Daniel McDowell of Lorimor, Iowa. He was taken into custody without incident at the Union County Law Enforcement Center and has since been processed into the Union County Jail. He is facing one count of attempted murder and a probation violation.
