COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Friends of an Iowa mother and toddler who were shot multiple times are holding a fundraiser to help cover their medical costs. The Daily Nonpareil reports that the fundraiser is set for Saturday at Regal Lanes in Council Bluffs. Organizers are hosting the event in honor of 23-year-old Heather Wilson and her 2-year-old son, Tyson, who are both still recovering from the February shooting.
Authorities have charged 31-year-old Ronald Farr with attempted murder, willful injury and going armed with intent. The “Strike Back Against Violence” fundraiser will feature bowling, food, a raffle and a silent auction.
