As Davenport police responded to a shots fired call at an apartment complex, an 18-year-old woman who’d been shot was brought to the ER at Genesis East Hospital in a private vehicle. It initiated the hospital’s lockdown protocols.
The SUV’s driver, identified in a police news release as 19-year-old Travyzz Binion of Burlington, was reportedly carrying a backpack, which police say contained a gun, marijuana, a digital scale and packaging materials.
KWQC-TV quotes police as saying Binion confessed to shooting the woman, who underwent emergency surgery and is reportedly in stable condition.
Binion is now jailed for attempted murder and a long list of other charges.
