WYOMING, Iowa (AP) — A prosecutor has determined that a deputy was justified in shooting and wounding a man who fired into a home in eastern Iowa and waived a firearm at law enforcement. The Jones County Attorney’s Office said in a news release Wednesday that the determination was reached after an investigator interviewed witnesses about the Sept. 21 shooting of 51-year-old James Orval Bartram and reviewed body camera and dashcam video.
