CHARLOTTE, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say an Iowa sheriff’s deputy was shot and wounded while responding to a 911 call. The Clinton County Sheriff’s Office said in a media release posted on Facebook that gunfire erupted Friday morning from inside a Charlotte home as deputies approached it. The deputy who was struck was rushed to a hospital, where he underwent surgery for non-life threatening injuries.

A woman inside the home also was taken to the hospital. The release said Jesse Doran, 29, was arrested and charged with violation of a no-contact order. The release said additional charges are pending.
