(Radio Iowa) – News about the fatal shooting at the Perry High School Thursday, spread quickly. Students in or just arriving at, the school, messaged their parents when they learned what happened. Kevin Shelley tells K-G-R-A radio he was at his job, working on a garbage truck, when he got a text from his son Zander, a sophomore at Perry High, saying he’d heard shots and was hiding — and hurt.
Shelley said his son was only grazed by a bullet and he was headed to the hospital. School staff were preparing for the first day back from the Winter break, when their routine was shattered by a fire alarm. Lori Meinecke is a teacher at Perry High. She tells K-G-R-A radio she was in the school early on Thursday.
Meinecke says she followed proper procedures, getting herself and others out and away from danger as quickly as possible.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — A presentation was held for a long-range rail transportation plan for the Siouxland Interstate Metropolitan Planning Council (SIMPCO). The Siouxland Regional Transportation Planning Association revealed plans for its 2050 long-range transportation plan. SIMPCO said the plan is a tool for developing safe and efficient transportation improvements in the region for the next 25 years.
Part of the plan includes the possibility of adding a passenger rail that would connect Sioux City to other hubs. The Siouxland Regional Transportation Planning Association said they are planning to get approval for the plan by November of this year.
The federal government has sponsored a study to see parts of the country would benefit from an Amtrak rail. That study will be submitted to Congress later this year.
GAZA, Iowa (KCAU) — There’s officially a candidate going up against incumbent 4th District Representative Randy Feenstra in the Republican Party, for his seat in Congress. Kevin Virgil held a campaign launch meet-and-greet Thursday at the Producers Coop in Gaza, Iowa.
Virgil told KCAU-TV he thinks a true conservative should run and serve the district, when taking into account much of the community’s political preferences. He said based on Feenstra’s voting record over the last two terms, it’s apparent Feenstra isn’t what the area needs. He said they want an alternative, and he’s a better choice to represent the constituents.
Ryan Melton is the only Democrat vying for the state’s 4th congressional district in the U.S. house of representatives.
(Blair, NE) – The case of a 43-year-old Sioux City, Iowa man accused of killing a Nebraska priest will go to trial next month. Kierre Williams, who is charged with first-degree murder, was bound over to district court during an appearance in Washington County, NE, court Wednesday.
Williams is also accused of using a deadly weapon to commit a felony, burglary, and possession of a weapon by a prohibited person in the killing of Rev. Stephen Gutgsell. Gutgsell was killed during a break-in at the rectory of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in December. Deputies received a 911 call from Gutgsell, who, according to court documents, said there was a man armed with a knife in his kitchen. Within minutes, deputies arrived and found Williams inside the church rectory, along with the priest. Court documents say the responding deputy found Gutgsell near the kitchen in the rectory. He appeared to had a severe laceration and was bleeding profusely. Father Gutgsell was taken to Nebraska Medicine in Omaha, where he died.
Williams is scheduled to appear in court next on Feb. 6. He remains held in the Washington, County, NE, jail.
