DUBUQUE — Geromy Gilliand, 20, of Dubuque, is recovering at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics from a gunshot wound while Dubuque police investigate the incident outside a pawnshop Monday afternoon.

Gilliand suffered what police called non-life-threatening injuries to his lower torso when he was shot at Dubuque Pawn, 2175 Central Ave., about 3:20 p.m. Monday, Assistant Police Chief Terry Tobin said.

Police haven’t identified who shot Gilliand. According to Tobin, the shooter wasn’t the pawnshop’s owner, “but someone otherwise associated with the pawnshop.”

The shooting grew out of a dispute between Gilliand and someone at the shop. Gilliand and three others went to the shop and became involved in a physical confrontation that ensued, ending with the shooting. Officers called to the scene found Gilliand at a convenience store across the street from the pawnshop.

The weapon has been recovered, and the shooter is cooperating with police, according to Tobin. No charges have been filed.
