SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – A man suspected of shooting a Sioux City police officer has died at an Omaha hospital. The Sioux City Journal reports that a Nebraska Medical Center spokesman on Sunday evening confirmed the death of Noah Ironshell.
Police say the 27-year-old Ironshell shot officer Jill Ohm on Oct. 3 as she responded to a Sioux City house about a disturbance and a person who might be suicidal. Police say she was shot in the chin.
Ironshell was found nearly four hours later in the basement of an abandoned home with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
