Police say a postal employee shot two coworkers at an Iowa post office. The employee was captured after the shooting.

The incident involved three postal workers: the employee identified by police as the shooter and two coworkers who were shot. The title of the incident does not identify the post office, give a date or time, or describe the circumstances of the capture.

What is known about the case

Police may release additional information about the investigation, the post office involved and the capture. Court records, if charges are filed, would establish the allegations and the next scheduled steps in the case.

For now, the central confirmed development is that police say a postal employee shot two coworkers at an Iowa post office and was captured.
