After shooting, Krause Gateway Center makes $250K in window fixes

Multiple 29-foot glass panels at Krause Gateway Center are being replaced this week, nearly a year after they were damaged.

Why it matters: They were cracked by bullets last summer, some shot across Pappajohn Sculpture Park while dozens of people were in the area.

---

Catch up fast: The iconic six-story building has a nearly all-glass exterior and sports some of the tallest panels in the nation.

• They were damaged in the early-morning shooting but remained in safe enough condition to stay standing while new panels were constructed.
• No one was injured in the incident.

Zoom in: Theo Larkpor, now 22, admitted that he fired the gun, court records show.

• He pleaded guilty in September to two felony counts of intimidation with a dangerous weapon. He was ordered to pay $2,000 in fines and $250,000 in restitution to the center's owners.
• Larkpor received deferred judgment, which means he could have avoided conviction if he had successfully completed three years of probation.

Yes, but: Larkpor was arrested on charges of domestic assault and interference with official acts in April and is currently in the Polk County Jail, court records show.

• A probation revocation hearing in the Gateway Center case is July 22.
• Ronald Langford, Larkpor's attorney, did not respond to Axios' inquiries.

Flashback: Larkpor previously told Axios that he shot in fear after others pointed a gun or shot at him first, that he is remorseful and plans to pay for the damage.
