(Grinnell, Iowa) – The Poweshiek County Sheriff’s Office reports one person died, another was arrested, following a shooting on Interstate 80 Tuesday, about five-miles east of the Grinnell Exit. Authorities say deputies responded to the 187 mile-marker westbound at around 8:25-a.m., following a call for assistance from the Iowa State Patrol.
The Sheriff’s Office, along with the Iowa State Patrol and Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, are investigating the shooting death of an adult male. One suspect is in custody, and it is believed that there is no danger to the public at this time.
No further information was released as of Tuesday evening.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says quarterback Cade McNamara is done for the season with a torn ACL. The injury occurred during the second series of Iowa’s 26-16 win over Michigan State.
Ferentz says McNamara plans on returning next season.
Ferentz says McNamara will have surgery in the next couple of weeks but will remain with the team.
With McNamara out sophomore Deacon Hill becomes the starter. He led the Hawkeyes to the victory over the Spartans.
Hill’s mobility helped the Hawkeye use some different looks on offense.
The Hawkeyes are 4-1 and host Purdue on Saturday.
Iowa State coach Matt Campbell used the terms resilient and courageous to describe his team. The Cyclones are 2-3 after a 50-20 loss at Oklahoma and will be at home this week to play TCU.
Campbell feels the Cyclones still have a lot of potential.
Iowa State’s run game perked up at Oklahoma with 150 yards. Campbell wants to see that progress continue.
The Cyclone defense has given up too many big plays and Campbell says a better pass rush is part of the solution.
Campbell says they need to generate pressure without blitzing too much.

(Radio Iowa) – The Midwestern economy is headed toward recession — soon, according to the latest projection from Creighton University and its monthly survey of business leaders in Iowa and eight other states. Creighton economist Ernie Goss says the overall Business Conditions Index rose slightly for the region into the positive growth category, but Iowa’s economy is still showing negative growth.
The hiring trends for the Midwest during September were “not good,” Goss says, though the figures were up slightly from August.
The Midwest’s regional manufacturing economy has weakened from earlier in the year, Goss says, and it’s weakened from the same period last year, while inflation remains troublesome.
According to U.S. International Trade Association data, Iowa’s manufacturing exports expanded from just over nine-billion dollars for the first seven months of 2022 to ten-billion for the same period in 2023.
Ernie Goss
That’s a growth rate of better than nine-percent. For the first seven months of each year, the state’s leading manufacturing export, machinery, soared by almost 24-percent between 2022 to 2023. On the zero-to-100 scale where 50 is growth neutral, Goss says Iowa’s Business Conditions Index for September rose to a weak 48.5, up slightly from 47.9 in August.
(Radio Iowa) – The years of waiting are over and the big race is coming to the Iowa Speedway in Newton. NASCAR senior vice president, Ben Kennedy made the announcement outside the Iowa Capitol.

The race is expected to have a 100 million dollar impact on the area. NASCAR hall of Famer Rusty Wallace, spearheaded the effort to get the track built in Newton in 2006 and also designed it.
