DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An autopsy shows a Rockwell City police officer killed during a standoff died from a gunshot wound to his chest. Gerard Meyers, assistant director of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, says Monday the wound to officer Jamie Buenting was in the upper chest-lower neck region. The 37-year-old Buenting was shot early Friday as he and other officers attempted to enter a house to arrest 32-year-old Corey Trott, who was wanted on an assault warrant.

The Des Moines Register reported a complaint filed with Calhoun County District Court says Buenting was a few feet from the house when Trott fired a single shot from a .233 caliber rifle. Trott surrendered to authorities hours later. Trott faces a first-degree murder charge.

Two people were killed and another injured during a collision between a pickup and a semi hauling dynamite Monday morning, in northwestern Harrison County. The Iowa State Patrol was withholding the names of the victims, pending notification of relatives. The accident happened at around 6:50-a.m. on Interstate 29  near about a mile north of the Mondamin exit.

Officials say a 2000 GMC Sonoma pickup was traveling south on I-29 when it left the west side road. The driver over-corrected, sending the pickup into the center median and into the side of a northbound 2012 Kenworth semi. Following the collision, the pickup came to rest on the west shoulder of I-29 in the northbound lanes.  The semi came to rest in the east ditch. One person in each of the vehicles was killed. Another person in the semi was injured and flown by LifeNet helicopter to Creighton University Hospital in Omaha. The other victims died at the scene.

The accident remains under investigation. I-29’s northbound lanes remained closed for about 6 1/2 hours while the accident was being investigated and the wreckage cleared. Despite the fact the semi was hauling dynamite, officials said it was not at risk of exploding.
