Good morning, Des Moines.

On Sunday, dozens learned self-defense at Triumph Martial Arts in Urbandale, where Master Alain Cohen (a 6th Dan Black Belt) led a Krav Maga class to show techniques for real-world attacks.

The session focused on simple ways to stop unwanted grabs and defend against threats with a knife or stick.

At 9:15 a.m. Sunday, a two-car crash outside Mitchellville left one car flipped and submerged in water and injured five people—one adult was airlifted while two adults and two children received treatment—as emergency services from Mitchellville, Altoona and Pleasant Hill responded while the Iowa State Patrol opened an investigation.

Des Moines police charged 45-year-old Shontay Salenciaga after he fled officers, rammed a police car, and crashed his vehicle into the Embassy Suites hotel — he now faces charges for assault while displaying a dangerous weapon and felony eluding while being treated for a leg injury.

Heavy rainfall on and off over the weekend caused flooding in parts of central Iowa, and photos from WHO 13 viewers showed rising water levels.

Residents are advised to monitor local weather reports & take precautions in affected areas.

Brad Lynch, a longtime face at Charles City Hy-Vee for over 41 years, attended his first Iowa Cubs game over the weekend where he threw the first pitch—Hy-Vee and the Cubs team arranged two skyboxes with cheering fans while KCCI photojournalist Henry Hahn captured the moment.
