Four men have been arrested in connection with an overnight drive-by shooting in Ames’ Campustown early Sunday that resulted in three people being hospitalized. Officers with the Ames Police Department were sent around 1:30 a.m. to the area near Stanton Avenue and Chamberlain Street on reports that a fight had broken out. Shortly thereafter, police said, two people in a red car stopped in the 200 block of Welch Avenue and fired shots into a crowd of people. Police said the assailants are believed to have been involved in the fight they dispelled. Officers responded by firing shots at the assailants' vehicle. The assailants then stopped shooting and fled northbound on Welch Avenue and west on Lincoln Way. The Ames Police Department said in a news release that Terrion Maxfield, 20, and Desmon Siner, 19, both of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, were found at a Fort Dodge hospital with gunshot wounds. The men have been arrested and charged with attempted murder, a Class B felony. After further investigation, officials arrested Charles Smith, 20, and Traveion D. Henry, 21, also of Milwaukee. They were charged with attempted murder and aiding and abetting. Two victims were taken to Mary Greely Medical Center in Ames and one was taken to a Des Moines-area hospital. All are expected to survive. The identities of the shooting victims have not yet been released. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation is assisting in the case.
