A Keokuk man is dead following what police say was a self-inflicted gunshot wound Friday afternoon that sparked a large police response.
The Keokuk Police Department responded around 3:27 p.m. to the area of Fourth and Fulton Streets for a report of a person with a gun.
Police Chief Zeth Baum says officers arrived within a minute and found a man with what appeared to be a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Multiple Keokuk officers and other area law enforcement agencies were on scene as authorities canvassed the area for witnesses who may have seen anything related to the incident.
