DOW CITY, Iowa (AP) – A western Iowa man has pleaded not guilty to murder in connection with a fatal shooting outside a small town bar. 28-year-old Benton Wingrove is charged with killing 29-year-old Adam Lary in Dow City after the two men argued at a bar. Both men were from Dow City.  Authorities say Lary left the bar first, but was shot while driving and his car crashed into a house.

Prosecutors say Wingrove fired nearly a dozen shots at Lary as he tried to drive away, and Wingrove had a handgun when he was arrested.
