1 Shot After Attempted Home Invasion in Maquoketa

Yesterday at 12:14 PM , The Jackson County Law Center Dispatch received a 911 call from a rural Maquoketa resident saying that a person was attempting to break into their house.  As the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office was responding the 911 call was dropped, then it was resumed and it was reported that a person was shot during the incident. 

The responding deputies discovered an adult male who was shot several times during the altercation at the residence. The injured male was flown to Iowa City with serious injuries. 

The Iowa Department of Public Safety’s Division of Criminal Investigation assisted the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office in the investigation. The Sheriff’s Office extended their gratitude to the Maquoketa Police Department for a quick response and gaining control of the scene while the Sheriff’s Deputies were en route.  They also thank the Jackson County Regional Health Center Ambulance for a fast response time. Further Information will be released at a later time.
