ONAWA, Iowa (AP) – Authorities say a man was shot during a burglary attempt in the western Iowa town of Onawa. Officers who were sent to a storage building around 6 p.m. Sunday found a 36-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to his lower body. He’s been taken to Burgess Health Center in Onawa and is expected to survive his wound. His name hasn’t been released. Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation agent Daniel Dawson says investigators think the victim interrupted a burglary and was shot. Investigators are checking to see whether anything was stolen. No arrest has been reported.

The Iowa Hawkeye women outscored Indiana 48-33 in the second half to roar away to an 83-64 victory on the road in Big Ten play on Sunday. Kamille Wahlin had 22 points and six assists while Mellisa Dixon had five three pointers and finished with 19 points. It was Iowa’s first game without standout guard Jamie Printy, who is out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. Iowa coach Lisa Bluder says it will take a complete team effort to replace Printy. Iowa is 6-5 in the Big Ten and 14-10 overall.
An instructor at the University of Northern Iowa is hoping the publicity surrounding several recent hazing incidents in Iowa schools serves as a “wake up call” to coaches, athletes and others about the problem. Jennifer Waldron, and associate professor of health, physical education and leisure services, has conducted several studies on hazing or bullying in sports. Waldron says many athletes she interviewed perceived hazing as just harmless fun, when in reality, the conduct could be illegal. “There’s also huge a social acceptance and social pressure…so many athletes talk about, ‘it’s not something I wanted to do, but I wanted to be seen as a real teammate or I wanted to be accepted by my teammates, so I went through it even though I wasn’t necessarily comfortable with or it made me stressed out,’ or there are other ramifications of it,” Waldron said. Waldron said some athletes she questioned noted their coaches even played a role hazing, while others enforced a strict, no tolerance policy toward such activity.
“Most of the athletes said their coach knew that hazing was going on, but as long as no one got hurt and there were no ill consequences the coach heard about, then it would be okay,” Waldron said. Hazing or bullying cases involving high school wrestling team have surfaced in Iowa this season. In at least three cases, criminal charges have been filed. “I’m hoping that, we in the state, use this as a teachable moment and try to be proactive before more cases break,” Waldron said. Waldron has given lectures at anti-hazing workshops and is currently collecting data on better prediction methods in initiation rituals among sports teams.
