Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa agriculture officials say two additional commercial poultry farms show signs of the presence of bird flu. A chicken farm in Osceola County with 100,000 birds and a turkey farm in Cherokee County are the latest additions to the list of farms testing positive for the H5N2 virus.

CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) — A jury has found a 74-year-old northern Iowa man guilty of sexual abusing two 8-year-old children. Jurors convicted John Winston Lusk of Floyd of two counts of second-degree sexual abuse. Prosecutors allege Lusk sexually abused a girl about three years ago when she stayed overnight at his home, and sexually abused a boy in 2014.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — The murder trial of a Sioux City man accused in the shooting death of another Iowan has been continued as lawyers await forensic test results. Attorneys on Wednesday filed a motion to delay the first-degree murder trial of Timothy Schroeder, arguing they needed more time to conduct depositions. They also said they’re waiting on ballistics and fingerprint reports from the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation laboratory. The Sioux City Journal reports the trial has been rescheduled for September 1st.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Sioux City man convicted in 2011 of sexually abusing three girls has been granted a retrial in June. Woodbury County Assistant Attorney Drew Bockenstedt tells the Sioux City Journal reports 42-year-old Julius Turner filed for post-conviction relief in 2012, claiming his attorney inadequately defended him.

(Updated 4:45-a.m.)

A four-year old Council Bluffs boy was reported to be in critical condition at a hospital in Nebraska, after being shot in the neck Thursday evening. According to Council Bluffs Police, Q-Marion Jones was transported CHI Creighton Hospital before being transferred to the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, after he was hit by a bullet at around 5-p.m., Thursday.

Police say they received a call at 5:03-p.m. from Q-Marion’s mother saying the boy was having breathing problems while in her vehicle. The dispatcher was able to ascertain the woman’s location was 19th Street and West Broadway. A rescue squad was dispatched and upon arrival, determined the boy had suffered a gunshot wound to the back of the neck.

The Council Bluffs Police Department is conducting an investigation into the incident, but preliminary information reveals there was another juvenile in the mother’s apartment, who had access to a semi-automatic pistol. The juvenile was placed into protective custody, pending completion of an investigation.

A search warrant was executed late Thursday evening at the residence, with evidence recovered that indicated a weapon was fired inside the home. The weapon however, had not been recovered at last report.
