In the briefing carried by FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul, Sergeant P. Parizek says officers detained the suspect within 11 minutes of the incident beginning. Police identified her as an adult postal employee and said she was taken into custody without resistance.

Parizek describes reports of shots fired on the building's second floor, an area not open to the public. He says the suspect fled across the University Avenue bridge before being detained near a bike trail.

"At this time everybody's in stable condition. We're expecting everybody to pull through," Parizek says.

At the briefing, Parizek says no motive is known. The Des Moines Police Department's Crimes Against Persons section is leading the investigation with assistance from postal inspectors.
