DOW CITY, Iowa (AP) — A western Iowa man is facing a murder charge after a fatal shooting in a small town this weekend. The Crawford County Sheriff’s Department says 28-year-old Benton Wingrove was arrested after the fatal shooting of 29-year-old Adam Lary in Dow City where the two men lived. Authorities say Wingrove and Lary argued at a bar in Dow City shortly before the shooting.

Lary left the bar first, but was shot while driving and his car crashed into a house. Authorities say Wingrove called police around 1:45 a.m. Saturday to report the shooting. An officer arrived to find him with a handgun on the ground in front of him. Wingrove was being held in lieu of $1 million bond.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa lawmakers are advancing competing income tax reduction plans in the Republican-majority House and Democratic-controlled Senate and a compromise deal is not yet clear. The House on Wednesday passed a bill to offer a flat income tax option. Under their legislation, residents could pay a 4.5 percent state tax on income instead of the current progressive tax rates. Most deductions and credits wouldn’t be available to those paying the flat tax.

A Senate committee approved legislation Monday that would provide more tax credits to low income residents. Lawmakers say they will work to find middle ground, but it wasn’t clear what that could be. Republicans say their proposal would provide tax cuts to more people. But Democrats say the Republican plan provides bigger breaks to top earners.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Sioux City gynecologist has been fined $7,500 for botching a hysterectomy by mistakenly removing his 29-year-old patient’s healthy ovaries. The Iowa Board of Medicine fined 50-year-old Doctor Kevin Hamburger on Thursday for the July 2011 surgery and has ordered Hamburger to submit a plan describing how he’ll avoid future errors. Hamburger is also being sued for damages by the patient, Erin Rehan. Her lawsuit says she was told by Hamburger that her ovaries would not be removed during the procedure. Rehan is seeking more than $10,000 in damages.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — With Iowa facing a psychiatrist shortage, one lawmaker thinks giving income tax breaks to psychiatry students will be enough to encourage them to practice in the state. Republican Representative Dave Heaton’s bill was reviewed by the House Ways and Means Committee this week.
