Old karl phillip whites body at a home at 110 Saint Lawrence street over the weekend. They say the preliminary investigation shows the shooting was possibly accidental. Dubuque police havent released information about what led up to a shooting that injured a 2 yearold boy. It happened around 11 45 last night at 942 main street. First responders took him to a nearby hospital and later air lifted him to uihc. Kcrgtv9s Katie Wiedemann has been following the story today. Katie, where does the investigation stand right now . Police have been investigating for about 24 hours now, and are piecing together exactly what happened. But theyre not releasing that information until they know for sure. We do know there was some confusion when the call first came into the 911 dispatch center. All cars report of a possible shooting at 920 main street. We got a call from a subject saying there was a subject accidentally shot. They were going to be transporting them in a green camry. Then they disconnected. The boy was still at the scene when police arrived. They say some people at the scene told officers the child was not actually shot, but rather was cut by some broken glass. But investigators say as paramedics took a closer look at him, they determined he did in fact have a gun shot wound. According to the dubuque Zoning Department, the first floor of 942 main is zoned for commercial use only. But, police say the first floor of the building, where the shooting happened, was being used as a make shift apartment. The Zoning Department says they are now investigating why people were living here. Police arent yet saying for sure if the person who pulled the trigger of that hand gun was an adult or one of the other children who were inside the building at the time.

President obama is taking an executive action to require more background checks on gun sales in the country. Tonight, the white house unveiled gun control measures after a series of highprofile mass shootings. The white house says background checks will be required across the nation for all people who buy weapons online and at gun shows. Right now, some of those sellers dont have to have a license to sell guns. Only those who hold federal licenses are required to conduct background checks on people buying guns. The fbi will also add 230 agents to process those background checks. 1 11 what i asked my team to do is to see what more we can do to strengthen our enforcement and prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands, to make sure that criminals, people who are mentally unstable and those who could pose a danger to themselves or others are less likely to get a gun. President obama directed his team to present him with options after the Umpqua CommunityCollege Shooting that killed nine people in october. Just last month, a couple killed 14 people at a social Services Center in san bernardino, california. Kcrgtv9s Jill Kasparie joins us on the story.

With the focus coming on background checks the two walked us through how it works in iowa. 9 05 16 if its a handgun, you have to go to the Sheriffs Department or your local sheriff, get your permit. During that process the Sheriffs Office conducts a background check. If its a longgun the store owners say they call the fbi from the store to do a background check. 9 19 25 from that they decide whether the person does or does not pass the background check. From there they can give us three responses, approve, deny or delay howe says licensed dealers go through the same process at a gun show. 9 17 50 its 100 percent the same identification, permits, called in, background checks, have to pass the background checks or they are not allowed to get the gun but the president s executive order would make sure more gun sellers even those online or at gun shows are licensed. Ducharme says with all of the attention on guns, he wants to point out that guns arent the problem. 9 06 30 there again its not the guns, its the nutcases getting ahold of them. We reached out to both the linn county sheriff and the Cedar Rapids Police chief for comment on this topic.
