Gunshots were fired outside an Alameda restaurant.
ALAMEDA, Calif. - Police in Alameda are looking for a man who fired his gun at a restaurant.
It happened just before 1 0 p.m. on Monday outside the Shirasoni Sushi Bar on Fifth Street in the Alameda Landing Shopping Center.
Witnesses say customers ran when the man pulled out a gun inside the restaurant after reportedly arguing with someone.
After that, he went out to the parking lot and fired several shots in the air, but no one was hurt.
In mid-2019, the Carroll County Supervisors opened up the application process after receiving notification that long-time IT Director, Carl Wilburn, was planning to retire at the end of 2020 or onset of 2021 at the latest. During that process, a current employee and part-time IT technician, Louie Grote, applied for the position. When the interview committee selected a handful of candidates to continue through the process, the list did not include Grote. He believed the reasoning behind his exclusion was a form of age discrimination and filed a complaint with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission. The commission called for the two parties to enter into a mediation process, the outcome of which was an agreement reached that provided Grote with a monetary settlement of $95,000. Carroll County Supervisor Chair, Gene Meiners, says there is another part of this settlement agreement that needs to be stressed.
