Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — As Hillary Rodham Clinton is talking about building a better America in New York, Democratic rival Bernie Sanders was in Des Moines talking about political revolution. The Vermont senator and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate says, “There is no state in the country where we have a better opportunity to do that than here in Iowa.” Sanders says Iowa will be key for his insurgent campaign against Clinton.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Residents of Cedar Rapids are trying to clean up the mess left behind by flash flooding earlier this week — including almost a dozen cars that stalled on streets trying to drive through high water. Television station KCRG says floodwater that swamped city streets overnight Thursday drained away quickly, but not before damaging cars and sending rescue crews scrambling.

CORALVILLE, Iowa (AP) — Authorities have identified a woman shot and killed in an eastern Iowa shopping mall as 20-year-old Andrea Farrington, who worked in the children’s museum at the mall. At a news conference yesterday, Coralville police said Farrington was shot multiple times in her torso Friday evening, and that a handgun and bullet casings were found at the scene. Farrington died at an Iowa City hospital.

DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — Police have arrested a man they say drunkenly crashed into three parked cars, sped off, then returned to the scene. The Telegraph Herald reports that 28-year-old Brett Howes was arrested Friday and charged with eight counts.
