IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Several hunters say they have been injured over the last decade when a rifle made by Savage Arms unexpectedly exploded upon firing. Savage Arms has been fighting and settling lawsuits that allege it recklessly kept the 10 ML-II muzzleloader on the market despite years of reports of problems with its barrel. The company insists the gun is safe, but some experts say they believe it has a defect that makes it prone to catastrophic failure that has left hands mangled, faces burnt and ears damaged.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The federal government is suspending disaster aid for the Omaha Tribe because auditors couldn’t verify how the tribe spent $14 million in past aid. The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that auditors couldn’t find documentation to show how the tribe spent the money it received after the 2011 Missouri River flooding.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A West Des Moines record store owner accused of hiding a camera in the business’ bathroom and recording an underage girl is now under federal indictment. Federal prosecutors say 48-year-old Robert Kuhn, the owner of Wayback Records, was indicted last week on a count of attempted production of child pornography. On Tuesday, Kuhn was ordered detained pending trial after prosecutors say investigators had found videos of other females disrobing.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — The city of Cedar Rapids has banned the use of fireworks within city limits just days before the state’s second period of legal sales and use begins. The council signaled its plans last week with its initial vote to advance the ban. Television station KGAN reports that the council finalized adoption of the ordinance Tuesday. That means the new ordinance will go into effect before Sunday, when the next state-approved fireworks sale-and-use period begins.
