COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Police in western Iowa say a man has been found dead in a Council Bluffs home, and that the discovery is related to a case of an armed man who was shot dead by police hours earlier. Council Bluffs police say in a news release that the body of the 51-year-old man was found around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — It’s time for the Iowa State Fair, home of deep-fried everything, and every four years, presidential candidates. Starting Thursday, more than 20 Democratic White House hopefuls will navigate the festival of nutritionally questionable snacks while flocks of media cover their dietary choices. The candidates try to look presidential while at ease with the folkways of Middle America. But the offerings pose challenges for vegetarian Tulsi Gabbard and vegan Cory Booker.

BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is accusing President Donald Trump of “fanning the flames of white supremacy.” Campaigning in Iowa on Wednesday, the former vice president also charged that the president offers no moral leadership and seems to have no interest in unifying the country. Biden and other Democrats seeking to take Trump’s place have been nearly unanimous in supporting an aggressive plan to confront gun violence in the aftermath of last weekend’s mass shootings.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The mother of a man charged in the shooting death of a Des Moines man earlier this summer has also been arrested in the case.

Lyke is the mother of 20-year-old Michael Reco Lyke Jr., who has been charged with first-degree murder and other counts in the June 28 shooting death of 41-year-old Earl Marcello Caldwell.
