A 25-year-old Iowa woman was killed and a 32-year-old man injured when a random bullet struck them as they were driving home.
his daughter was likely driving her boyfriend home after an evening shift at a bar when a bullet hit. Police say both Rettinger and Kimball were returning home from work when they were hit by the bullet at around 2:30am.
After being shot, Rettinger managed to drive the car to a highway exit, where she was later pronounced dead at the scene, according to KWWL. Kimball is being treated for his injury. "It seems so out of the ordinary and so random and senseless that I can't even get my mind around it," Rettinger's father told the Register.
Waterloo Police Major Joe Leibold told KWWL in Waterloo that road rage was"one of the first things we looked into" but that this didn't appear to be the cause of the shooting.Police also say there is no indication that Rettinger, a former University of North Iowa softball player who was studying to become a dentist, was involved in activity that might have lead to the shooting on Sunday. One possibility is that the shooter might have been hunting, legally or illegally.
Officials have not said from what distance Rettinger was shot or what kind of bullet hit her and Kimball.
