Three people were arrested shortly after the shooting at the educational program called Starts Right Here, police said. Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie identified the injured adult as William Holmes — who goes by the stage name Will Keeps — and said the victims and those arrested were all teenagers.
Starts Right Here is an educational program affiliated with the Des Moines school district. Police said emergency crews were called to the school, which is in a business park, just before 1 p.m. Officers arrived to find two students critically injured, and they started CPR immediately. The two students died at a hospital. The adult, later identified by the mayor as Keeps, was in serious condition, and police said he was in surgery Monday evening.
The Greater Des Moines Partnership, the economic and community development organization for the region, says on its website that Keeps came to Des Moines about 20 years ago from Chicago, where he “lived in a world of gangs and violence” before finding healing through music. Interim Superintendent Matt Smith said in a statement: “We are saddened to learn of another act of gun violence, especially one that impacts an organization that works closely with some of our students. We are still waiting to learn more details, but our thoughts are with any victims of this incident and their families and friends.”
It’s the fucking guns. GunControlNow
The 36th mass shooting THIS YEAR in the US. The 37th happened a few hours later. 37 mass shootings in 24 days
So many 'alternative education programs' are throw-away 'schools' for kids with problems the adults can't, won't, aren't-interested-in solving.
No photo, we all know what race the perp was
This lowlife killed one teenager and one 18 yr old. Now the 🪑
What race is the suspect. That’s what’s important
A black man!

It NEVER f**king ends. Ever.
“At Risk” hmm
Get rid of gang members and you get rid of gang shootings.
Guns guns guns. Iowans are morons.
Umm why are they a “man”? Why not just say an “18 y/old” ?
Seems to be a consistent lack of good guys with guns latley
A question that one should not have to ask 'Which shooting was this, again?' (yes, I know which one it is but for a brief moment, I didn't)
Why world?...so much disregard for life
I wonder if it was by gun 🤔
Public stoning for should be legal?
