Grand jury declines to indict in shooting
The Clayton County grand jury, after two days of testimony, declined to indict four men over the Behrend family farm shooting that killed Eugene Behrend. The Iowa Attorney General’s office said the jury found the shooting justified as self defense under the law of deadly force. Eugene Behrend, 50, was shot Oct. 23 on his farm overlooking the Mississippi River near Millville.

Iowa Senate backs parental abortion notification law
The Iowa Senate approved a bill requiring a minor to notify an adult relative before terminating a pregnancy in a 40 to 10 vote. Debate centers on House opposition to the 48 hour notice to a relative not including parents and calls for explicit parent notification. The compromise from four senators aims for a middle ground with Gov. Branstad favoring the House approach.
