What are the details?
Kapri Lashawn Francis, 30, of Des Moines, violently assaulted another woman without provocation, police told the station, adding that the victim — who lawfully possessed a handgun — fired once in self-defense and hit Francis in the leg.
A male customer was shot in the foot when the bullet ricocheted, KCCI added.
