AKRON, Iowa (AP) — Authorities in northwest Iowa say one person is dead and another has been arrested in a shooting near Akron. The Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office says the shooting was reported at 12:15 a.m. Friday. Arriving deputies found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken by ambulance to a Sioux City hospital, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy has been ordered.

Investigators deemed the shooting a homicide and say others in the home witnessed the shooting. Police arrested 33-year-old Becky Hebert, of Akron, around noon Friday in LeMars without incident.
