KCCI says Hassan Mohamed faces two counts of attempted murder. We Are Iowa's deck says he shoots.

KCCI, updated at 12:21 p.m. CST on Nov. 6, 2026, reported Hassan Mohamed, 25, of Des Moines, was arrested about an hour after a Thursday night shooting at a McDonald's on SE Delaware Avenue in Ankeny. The Ankeny Police Department release, posted November 06, 2026, prints 2502 SE Delaware Ave. and the Iowa code sections. We Are Iowa's deck says he shoots, and it puts alleged on the dispute.

Shoots, in the We Are Iowa deck, and allegedly fired, on KCCI, are not the same verb. Not taken to a hospital, not transported, and released, are not the same sentence about the second person. Overnight, on the release, and Thursday night, on KCCI and We Are Iowa, are not the same clock. A charge is not a conviction.

KCCI's page does not print a byline. The update line is 12:21 p.m. CST on Nov. 6, 2026. The title on the page is "Hassan Mohamed charged for allegedly shooting shooting McDonald's workers about wrong order." Shooting shooting is the title. The headline is "Des Moines man arrested for allegedly shooting 2 Ankeny McDonald's workers." Charged, in the title, and arrested, in the headline, are not the same verb. About wrong order is the title. It is not the headline. The dateline is ANKENY, Iowa. The opening says two McDonald's employees were injured Thursday night when a customer allegedly fired through a drive-thru window following a dispute over an order. It says police arrested Hassan Mohamed, 25, of Des Moines, about an hour after the shooting, and that he faces two counts of attempted murder and other charges. Two, in that sentence, and 2, in the headline, are not the same numeral. Other charges, in the opening, is not the list that comes later on the page. It says officers were called to the McDonald's on SE Delaware Avenue around 10:30 p.m. Thursday after multiple 911 callers reported that someone in a vehicle had fired through the drive-thru window, and that the suspect left before officers arrived. It says one employee was shot in the arm and taken to a hospital and is expected to survive, and that a second employee was grazed by a bullet and evaluated at the scene but was not taken to a hospital. It says a preliminary investigation indicates the suspect fired multiple shots at employees after an order was allegedly filled incorrectly, and that neither employee knew the suspect. Filled incorrectly, in that sentence, and about wrong order, in the title, are not the same words. It says investigators used restaurant security footage and automated license plate reader technology to identify the vehicle and Mohamed, that officers found him about two miles away at WoodSpring Suites and took him into custody without incident, and that the Polk County Sheriff's Office assisted. It says that in addition to the attempted murder charges, he was charged with two counts of intimidation with a dangerous weapon, one count of willful injury causing bodily injury and one count of willful injury causing serious injury. It says the investigation remains ongoing and there is no ongoing threat to the public. The page does not print a street number, a hotel address, a code section, or Nov. 5.

The Ankeny Police Department release is posted November 06, 2026, with no clock. It says the department arrested 25-year-old Hassan Mohamed of Des Moines overnight following a shooting that occurred at the McDonald's on SE Delaware Ave that left two injured. Overnight, in that opening, and Thursday night, on KCCI, are not the same word. 25-year-old Hassan Mohamed, on the release, and Hassan Mohamed, 25, on KCCI, are not the same order. SE Delaware Ave, on the release, and SE Delaware Avenue, on KCCI, are not the same spelling. It says officers were dispatched to McDonald's, 2502 SE Delaware Ave., around 10:30 p.m. on Nov. 5 after multiple 911 callers reported that a person in a vehicle fired through the drive-thru window, and that the suspect left in a vehicle before officers arrived. Nov. 5, on the release, and Thursday, on KCCI, are not the same line. The release does not print Thursday. KCCI does not print Nov. 5. 2502 SE Delaware Ave. is the release. It is not on KCCI. Left in a vehicle, on the release, and left before officers arrived, on KCCI, are not the same sentence. It says responding officers found an adult male with a gunshot wound to his arm and immediately provided emergency aid, that Ankeny Fire Department medics also provided care, and that he was transported to a hospital and is expected to survive. An adult male, and emergency aid, and Ankeny Fire Department, are the release. KCCI says an employee was shot in the arm and taken to a hospital, and it does not print the fire department. It says a second adult male was grazed by a bullet as well, evaluated at the scene, and was not transported. Not transported, on the release, and not taken to a hospital, on KCCI, are not the same sentence. As well is the release. It says preliminary investigation shows the suspect shot at employees multiple times following a dispute over an order that was allegedly incorrectly filled, and that both victims were McDonald's employees and did not know the suspect. Shot at, on the release, and fired, on KCCI, are not the same verb. Incorrectly filled, on the release, and filled incorrectly, on KCCI, are not the same order. Victims, on the release, and employees, on KCCI, are not the same word. It says officers used McDonald's security footage and automated license plate reader (ALPR) technology. McDonald's security footage, and the parenthetical ALPR, are the release. Restaurant security footage, without the parenthetical, is KCCI. It says investigators located him at WoodSpring Suites, 6703 SE Bellagio Dr., in Ankeny, and that he was taken into custody without incident approximately one hour after the shooting. It says the Polk County Sheriff's Office assisted with the arrest. Approximately one hour, on the release, and about an hour, on KCCI, are not the same phrase. 6703 SE Bellagio Dr. is the release. About two miles away is KCCI. The release does not print two miles. KCCI does not print Bellagio. The release lists Attempted Murder (2 counts)(Iowa Code 707.11(1)), Intimidation with a Dangerous Weapon (2 counts)( Iowa Code 708.6), Willful Injury Causing Bodily Injury (1 count)(Iowa Code 708.4(2)), and Willful Injury Causing Serious Injury (1 count)(Iowa Code 708.4(1)). The space after the parenthesis on the intimidation line is on the page. The other three code lines do not print that space. Title-case charge names, and the code sections, are the release. KCCI's charge sentence is lowercase and does not print a code. Bodily injury before serious injury is the order on both. It says the incident remains under investigation and there is no ongoing threat to the public, and that no additional information is being released at this time. Remains under investigation, on the release, and remains ongoing, on KCCI, are not the same verb. No additional information is the release.

We Are Iowa, by Talya Holgate-Allen, is the page at weareiowa.com. It is published at 10:39 a.m. CST on November 6, 2026, and updated at 5:41 p.m. CST the same day. The 5:41 p.m. update is later than KCCI's 12:21 p.m. line. The deck says, "Des Moines man shoots through drive-thru window after alleged wrong order dispute, police said." Shoots, in that deck, is not allegedly fired. The dateline is ANKENY, Iowa. The opening says Ankeny police have arrested a Des Moines man after he allegedly shot through a McDonald's drive-thru window Thursday night during a dispute over a wrong order. Allegedly shot, in the opening, and shoots, in the deck, are both on that page. A wrong order, on We Are Iowa, and an order that was allegedly incorrectly filled, on the release, and an order was allegedly filled incorrectly, on KCCI, are not the same phrase. It says the shooting took place around 10:30 p.m. at the McDonald's on SE Delaware Avenue, and that dispatch received calls stating that someone shot through the window and injured two McDonald's employees before driving off, police said in a press release. Shot through the window, and driving off, on We Are Iowa, and fired through the drive-thru window, and left before officers arrived, on KCCI, are not the same sentence. A press release, on We Are Iowa, is the attribution. The release page itself does not print the words press release. It says one of the victims was transported to a hospital and is expected to survive, and that the second victim was evaluated on the scene and released. It does not print shot in the arm. It does not print grazed. On the scene, and released, on We Are Iowa, and at the scene, and not taken to a hospital, on KCCI, and not transported, on the release, are not the same sentence. It says that after investigating, Ankeny Police arrested Hassan Mohamed, 25, of Des Moines, and that the victims did not know the suspect. Ankeny police, lowercase, in the opening, and Ankeny Police, in the arrest sentence, are both on that page. It then says Hassan was arrested on two counts of attempted murder, two counts of intimidation with a dangerous weapon, one count of willful injury causing bodily injury and one count of willful injury causing serious injury. Hassan, the first name alone, is that charge sentence. The 5:41 p.m. update does not print WoodSpring Suites, Bellagio, two miles, the Polk County Sheriff's Office, a code section, 2502, or without incident. The two attempted-murder counts, the two intimidation counts, and the two willful-injury counts are charges on all three pages. They are not convictions. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

WALB says Detravion Parker, 22, was charged with murder and taken to the Dougherty County Jail. Fox News, citing WALB, says the chief said the teenager called his mother after he was shot.

Charged with murder, on WALB and on Fox News, is a charge. An abandoned home, an abandoned apartment, and an abandoned residence are not the same place. Ordered them to hand over their belongings and fired shots, on WALB, and demanded their belongings and opened fire, on Fox News's account of WALB, are not the same sentence. The other three people charged are minors. They are not named here.

9NEWS says Deontre Yorks is being held for investigation of first-degree murder. The Denver Gazette says he faces charges.

Held for investigation of first-degree murder, on 9NEWS, and faces charges of first-degree murder, on the Denver Gazette, are not the same filing. Around 1:26 a.m., and about 1:30 a.m., are not the same clock. Later died at the hospital, and pronounced dead, are not the same sentence. A hold for investigation is not a conviction.
