Windsor Heights man charged with attempted murder of police officers after Saturday night standoff

Windsor Heights Police have taken 37-year-old Brandon Davis into custody after he allegedly shot at officers and patrol cars Saturday night.

WINDSOR HEIGHTS, Iowa — Windsor Heights resident Brandon Davis is facing more than a dozen charges, including attempted murder of three police officers, after a standoff Saturday night.

Police said they were called to the 37-year-old's home for a domestic incident involving a firearm.

Davis allegedly shot at the officers several times after they arrived at the 7000 block of Jefferson Avenue. No one was hurt, but some of the shots struck and damaged police cars.

The other charges filed against Davis include several counts of child endangerment, domestic abuse and harassment.

At that time, Polk County 911 sent out a "Code Red" alert to the surrounding area advising residents to shelter in place. According to police there is no longer a threat to the public.

“It is an absolute miracle none of the officers responding to this incident were injured," said Chad McCluskey, Windsor Heights public safety director.

Davis is currently being held in the Polk County Jail.
