OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Rain is falling across southeastern Nebraska and western Iowa, and residents are preparing for the possibility of severe weather later on Sunday. The storms moved into southeast Nebraska Sunday morning and spread into Iowa. The National Weather Service says these storms might produce large hail and damaging winds, so residents are being encouraged to monitor the weather.
A severe thunderstorm warning was issued Sunday morning for the western Iowa counties of Mills, Page, Montgomery and Fremont. That area may see quarter-size hail and 60 mph winds.
The Weather Service says there is a significant chance that more severe storms will develop in Nebraska and Iowa Sunday afternoon.
Police in Council Bluffs are investigating a shooting, Saturday evening, on the campus of Iowa Western Community College. Authorities say at around 5:55-p.m., officers were dispatched to Jenny Edmundson Memorial Hospital for a man with a gunshot wound. Officers learned that the victim was 19-year old Dalton Crosser, a student at Iowa Western Community College. Crosser told investigators that he and another 19 year old student had arranged to meet someone to sell an item, near the “village” area of the IWCC campus. He said that he and his friend drove to that area in his friend’s car.
Crosser told authorities that a gold colored four door car, with a sunroof pulled up behind them. Two men exited the car and walked up to their vehicle, getting into the back seat. The suspect in the passenger side back seat then displayed a handgun and pointed it at the victims, demanding their wallets. Crosser didn’t think the gun was real and attempted to grab it from the suspect. A struggle for the gun ensued and Crosser was shot in the upper left arm/shoulder area. Both suspects fled after the shot was fired, leaving in the car that they had arrived in. Crosser’s friend then drove him to JEMH. He was treated for single gunshot wound and later released from the hospital.
The suspects were described as black males in their late teens to early twenties, both around 5’8″, with thin builds. The suspect with the gun was described as wearing a Rastafari type shirt, with dreadlocks. The other man was wearing a blue hat and white shirt. There was a third person in the gold car that didn’t get out. He was described as black male in his late teens or early twenties. No arrests have been made at this time.
Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call 328-STOP.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Gaby Sanchez had two RBIs in a four-run fourth inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates bullpen worked seven strong innings after starter Francisco Liriano left with flu-like symptoms and dizziness in a 6-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday.
Matt Holliday had an RBI double for the Cardinals, who have mustered five runs in their last six games. They got three hits and a run in seven innings off five Pittsburgh relievers.
Yadier Molina was a bust on his jersey giveaway day, striking out with the bases loaded to end the third against Stolmy Pimentel (2-0) and popping out with runners on second and third to end the fifth against Jared Hughes. He entered batting .431 during a 15-game hitting streak.
Tyler Lyons (0-2) took the loss.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa is operating from a rare position of strength at running back.
Not only do the Hawkeyes have a stable of capable backs, they’re nearly all healthy heading into the summer.
Iowa took it easy on its three top backs – starters Mark Weisman and Jordan Canzeri and third-down back Damon Bullock – and as a result they should all be fresh for fall camp in three months. The Hawkeyes gave many of the carries those backs would have gotten to a host of youngsters, including LeShun Daniels, Jonathan Parker and Barkley Hill.
Coach Kirk Ferentz says Bullock, Daniels and Canzeri have all improved during spring practice, which wrapped up Saturday with a scrimmage at Kinnick Stadium.
