A witness tells TV-6 that he was in the Marine recruiting center when he heard shots fired at a nearby law office. He says he heard screaming and then heard the gunman try to reload his gun. A Marine recruiter told everyone to run. As the witness was running, he said he heard more gunfire. Kimberly Rd. was closed, but has since reopened to traffic.
Police were then called to the Miller Meier business in Bettendorf. A spokeswoman from UnityPoint Health – Trinity Bettendorf says they did go on a brief lockdown, but it has been lifted.
We are still working to gather information, but we do have crews at both scene

Update:
I think someone shot up a Marine recruitment center about 300 yards from where I'm sitting right now. I don't know how to proceed from here.
