Police were investigating a murder. Detectives went to a Des Moines apartment to question a 16-year-old when two teenage boys walked out of the apartment and pulled out handguns. Investigators say a 17-year-old boy, who was not involved in the homicide or identity theft, fired his weapon at the detectives. Three deputies returned fire, killing the 17-year-old old.
