@ScannerDSM I think they said it was a stray cat. Which makes me think that cat was not meant to be 'his' cat after all.

Black BMW or Audi with white male driver also reported by witnesses to possibly be involved.

One shot in the head. Agonal breathing and CPR at the scene. Transported to the hospital. This was about an hour after CelebrAsian ended for the day and just outside the closed streets perimeter. One self-identified suspect detained.

@metronetfiber And we're back! 3 hour outage. But it's back before people working from home have to trek into their offices, so I'm very happy about that. I hope whatever it was is really fixed and they prevent it happening again.

So...@metronetfiber is down. Again. Zero communication. Cust portal has no notifications and is super slow. Support pages all lead to 404 error pages. Phone rings busy. When it works it's GREAT. When it's down, it's like they totally disappeared. :-(

@metronetfiber FINALLY there's a message on their website. But all it says is that they're aware of the problem and are working on it. I guess that's something... I'm listed as a contact on our account and have not received a text or email, either.

Doug was a staple in Des Moines' public safety for decades, including years of dedicated service as a Telecommunicator and Reserve Police Officer with DMPD.

Most importantly, Doug was a loving father, partner, and friend.

RIP, Dougie…
