DAVENPORT, Iowa — Officials with the Figge Art Museum are speaking out after shots rang out early Sunday morning, June 6, 2021.
"It's too bad because we're a community amenity and to have our community do this to our building... it's pretty sad," said Todd Woeber, Chief Financial Officer with the Figge Art Museum.
"Nobody was hurt, nobody was here when it happened. The bullets did not penetrate the interior walls which would have caused some other issues for operations" Woeber also said.
Woeber also tells News 8 that Figge staff were left to clean up the mess left behind from the broken windows. Their staff found evidence of more than 70 shots being fired at and around the Figge Art Museum.
The Museum did still open Sunday as planned. Sunday kicked off Quad Cities Museum week.
