DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A shooting at an Iowa post office left three people injured Thursday, authorities said.

Des Moines police said the suspect has been detained and that the victims suffered injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

“They’re all at the hospital, they are being cared for right now,” Sgt. Paul Parizek said of the victims.

Parizek said officers responded within three minutes. The shooting happened on the second floor of the post office and reports started coming in of shots fired around 9:10 a.m. local time.

The main post office is just north of downtown Des Moines and across the street from one of the city’s main hospitals.

The Associated Press has several phone calls out seeking more information.

Gov. Kim Reynolds said she’s in contact with the Department of Public Safety regarding the shooting.

“The suspected shooter is in custody and the investigation is ongoing,” she posted online. “We are monitoring the situation and our prayers are with everyone involved. Grateful for the immediate response by law enforcement.”

A cute little orange robot with a yellow safety vest that looks like a “Cars” character could soon wave you into a parking spot using glowing traffic control wands at Disneyland’s Pixar Pals garage.

Disneyland is training AI-powered autonomous robots to help you park your car when you arrive at the Anaheim theme park, according to CNET.

The robotic “Cars” parking aides were showcased during the Disney Accelerator Demo Day event on Tuesday, Nov. 3 at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank.

Disney has developed robotic parking assistants that look like Pixar characters from the 2006 “Cars” and 2008 “Wall-E” animated films, according to a 30-minute video shown during the Disney Accelerator event.

“Imagine if a character from Cars or robots from Wall-E direct you where to park when you arrive,” Disney Experiences Senior Vice President Gary Daniels said on the video. “The work we are doing now is a great way to see how the robots function and, as important, how people respond.”

Walt Disney Imagineering has been working with the Irvine-based FieldAI engineering company to develop the Disneyland parking lot robots.

FieldAI has experience deploying robots in demanding, unstructured environments with uneven terrain, changing layouts and unexpected obstacles, according to Imagineering R&D Lab Director Doug Fidaleo.

“That’s what drew us to FieldAI,” Fidaleo said on the video. “The park of the future will be teeming with robot characters.”
