OAKLAND, Iowa (AP) – Authorities say one person has been killed and another arrested in   Oakland.  Officers were sent to a home on Brown Street around 3 a.m. today (Tuesday) after someone called 911 to report that a woman had been shot.  There was a brief standoff at the home, but a 63-year-old man who owns the home came out and surrendered without incident.

Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker says the 64-year-old woman who was killed was a visitor at the home. Authorities also say there were children inside the home, but the children were able to get out safely.

The names of those involved and other details haven’t been released.

A non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of child sexual abuse will present a workshop on the topic in Exira later this month. The Family Resource Center, Prevent Child Abuse Iowa  and Community Partnerships for Protecting Children are hosting the event created by the “Darkness to Light” organization. The workshop will be held April 22nd from 6:30-until 9-p.m., at the Exira Public Library. There is no cost to attend, but pre-registration is requested by calling 712-792-6440 or 1-800-999-5101. The training is approved for credit for foster parents and child care providers.

The training is open to the public and should be of specific interest to parents, youth sports organizations/coaches/camp counselors, youth service organizations, teachers/school personnel and faith centers. The two and a-half hour workshop is designed to educate adults on how to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to the reality of child sex abuse.
