One dead after Bettendorf officer-involved shooting

The incident happened around 2am on Kimberly Ridge Road in Bettendorf. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation is looking into it.

BETTENDORF, Iowa — One man is dead after an officer-involved shooting in Bettendorf early Sunday morning. 

It happened around 2 a.m. Feb. 7, 2021 on Kimberly Ridge Road in Bettendorf.

Officers located a vehicle related to an earlier domestic disturbance call, and police say a woman got out of the car to say the driver threatened to kill her with a handgun. 

Police say the driver wouldn't comply with officers' orders to get out and then pulled a gun, so a police officer fatally shot the driver.

The driver was later identified as 49-year-old Brian Gregory Scott from Bettendorf. The Iowa Department of Public Safety confirmed his identity. 

That officer has been identified as Zachary Gish, a three-year veteran of the Bettendorf Police Department.  He was placed on paid administrative leave and the investigation is in the hands of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
