DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa has surpassed 4,000 coronavirus-related deaths, marking another grim milestone with its infection rate rising again and most people still months from being able to get vaccinated. State health officials reported 61 additional deaths on Wednesday, pushing the state’s COVID-19 death toll to 4,060.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Nearly 100 people gathered at the Iowa Capitol to support President Donald Trump and express opposition to the Electoral College count that ultimately certified his election loss to Democrat Joe Biden. Iowa State Patrol spokesman Alex Dinkla says the peaceful rally Wednesday in the Capitol rotunda drew about 90 people at its height and then dwindled to about 40 people. The protesters had informed Capitol security about their plans to hold the rally. Two groups attended with one focusing on prayer while another was more vocal, chanting USA-themed slogans and singing patriotic songs. There was no destruction as occurred during hours of chaos caused by Trump supporters at the U.S. Capitol.

Officers who responded to the Jensen home found Margaret Jensen dead from an apparent gunshot wound. Garry Jensen was also found dead in the home from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

MARION, Iowa (AP) — Officials in Marion are set to approve a plan to repair the city’s historic train depot that was heavily damaged in last summer’s devastating derecho weather event. The Gazette in Cedar Rapids reports that the Marion City Council received a motion Tuesday night from the city’s Parks and Recreation department to approve a contract for the repairs. The council is expected to approve the contract at Thursday’s formal session. The depot was built in 1892 and moved to City Square Park in 1990. The structure’s northside roof was smashed by a fallen tree during the Aug. 10 derecho, which brought winds of more than 100 mph to eastern Iowa and damaged many buildings and trees in the region.
