Witnesses told officers where they thought the attackers had run toward; police officers and dogs apprehended the three about five blocks away from the shooting.

Police said the trio, none of whom have been identified, were in custody within 10 minutes of the first call to police.

The girl, who also has not been identified, was pronounced dead at University of Iowa Hospitals in Iowa City.

There was no immediate word or indication in the news release on whether any of those detained would be charged with a crime.
